To store your data, your computer has one (or more) disk (s) drive. Three steps are required prior to this support can store data: a physical format (the manufacturer), then a partitioning and formatting of each logical partition (the user). When you buy a complete computer, all these changes have of course already been done. Partitioning is to create one or more storage areas (called partitions). Each disk drive must have at least a score (called primary partition) but can be divided into multiple partitions (up to 4). Each partition is then managed by the system as a separate hard disk, even if it physically only one exists. I will present successively the advantage of multiple partitions and methods for partitioning a disk.
