After the 32 sectors of a disk comes the file allocation table. As for the root directory table, it is stored behind the two FAT32 tables (file allocation tables). As for exactly which sector it is in, you have to calculate the size of your FAT table. FAT table * 2, then add 32 sectors, and that is the file directory table.
Actually, using Norton’s NU disk editor, it is very easy to “move around” between these tables. :）

Where on the disk is the size of the FAT table stored? How is the disk parameter table defined?
