A fairly minor point, but you really need a proper copyright
symbol or the word "Copyright" (or some particular abbreviation
of it I think).  "(C)" is widely regarded as not being good
enough, though I don't think it's ever been tested in court.
Summary: for safety, write out "Copyright" explicitly in
ASCII documents.

Defining your terms is a good idea, but in the next paragraph:

Now here you talk about creating a partition at the beginning
of the "disc", which you've told us you're using to mean
"partition".  There are a few more examples in the rest of the
extract.  It might be better to avoid the overloaded term
"disc" entirely and use "partition" and "drive".

This may seem to be just nit-picking, but woolly use of
terminology can be most confusing if you don't have much
understanding of the subject (which is presumably true of
many readers of this document).

Actually, while I'm nit-picking, a filesystem is really the
format on a partition, rather than another term for the
partition itself.
