Default first sector with fdisk


In my attempt to partitioning my new hard drive and creating the first primary partition, as default fdisk chooses sector 2048 as the first sector for the partition. Shouldn't it be sector 1 as first sector?

Is this something to get worried about or can I continue with the partitioning?


Thank's for your help!

Use the default: 2048 is a safe choice.
