A primary hard drive partition contains 1 file system. In earlier versions of Windows Operating System, the (C:) drive must be a “primary partition”. Other OS can not share this.

Both the file systems i.e. FAT16 and FAT32 have prepared use of pretty a number of hard disk partition type codes above time due to the restrictions of various Disk Operating System and Windows Operating System versions. However a Linux OS may identify a number of other file systems such as ext2, ext3, etc, they have all always used the same hard disk partition type code: 0×83.
