Partition+Why+it+makes+sense+too

With the size of current day Hard Drives it makes sense to partition for a number of reasons. First off if you use two separate drives this tends to slow down the computer. Also if you want to have two boot systems ( OS ) you need to have them in separate drives. They do not need to be physically separate, but work well on a partitioned drive. The added advantage of having one drive containing all your Data is paramount, because if you get a crash you do not loose all your hard work. You can also consider having your programs in a dedicated drive. Defragging is also quicker by giving the option of which drive to defrag. To partition normally one would use **//FDISK//** However, there are a number of partitioning programs available such as:- **//Partition Magic//** A partitioning scheme only allows **//Four Primary Partitions//** However, more can be created as **//Extended Partitions////.//** Hence, any number of partitions is possible.
 * Partition Why it makes sense too. **

Do not partition a drive which already has data etc. on it, you will loose all. Consequentially Partition the drive before using and loading Programs, Data, etc.
 * __Here I must issue a word of caution.__**
