Eachtrack is divided into 24 sectors{Figure7-3). Each
sectorhasan individual address. sectorcontains:
A

provides orientationinformationto the controlling
circuits. lt is the startingpoint for everytrack.
. AM - Address markeris a specially written groupof
bits usedto indicatethe start of a new sector.
. lD - The sectoridentifier. This groupof 6 bytes
contains bytesfor uniqueidentification that sector
