Explanation
When an NTFS volume is formatted, the Windows format utility reserves the first 16 sectors of the partition for the boot sector and bootstrap code. This area contains the NTFS boot record (also called the Volume Boot Record or VBR), including the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB) and the initial bootstrap code needed to load the operating system. This reserved space ensures that the critical startup code is always at a predictable, fixed location on the volume.
