    This will do the trick (Gives info on the first removable drive in your system):

    MBR - Partition Table Info

    For a project I need to read a SD card that is written by dedicated hardware. It has FAT on it.
    To be able to fully use the card, I need to know the total number of sectors available on the partitions.
    That info is found in the MBR -> Partition Table Entries. (The last 4 bytes of every 16 byte entry holds the number of sectors in a partition.)
    Is there a way to retrieve that info? (Preferrably without being logged in with administrator rights...)
    Also the partition type is stored there and is of interest (byte 5 of table entry)
