Take the master boot record from this week's module and use it as a file input for your program. It will be named block.dd and you can assume that it's in your current directory so you don't have to provide a path to it. Make sure that you copy it into the directory where your Python file is located or your program will fail.

Use the information in the Wikipedia entry for Master Boot Record (Links to an external site.) to write a program that will parse a portion of the partition table. The first partition entry is located at the address 1BE (hex). Print out the status byte (1 byte located at the starting address), the partition type (1 byte located at the address 1BE + 4) and the address of the first sector in the partition (1BE + 8).

All the same rules about the attribution of name, course, etc at the top of your program, documenting your code and including a documentation block before all of your functions.
