Hello!
This post is about disk partitions and why they are so great!
They are so great, that in fact everyone should have one!
A good idea is to partition your harddisk to have 2 partitions.
This way you can have your operating system and system files on one partition (the primary partition) which usually is C:
Then you can have another secondary partition which is D:
where you store any other data such as media files (music, movies) and all sorts of stuff.
Maybe you have a 100 gb harddisk. Then you can allocate for example 20 gb to have on a system/primary partition (C:) where you have for example Windows XP. Then the rest (80 gb) you have on your secondary partition (D:).
This can help you keep stuff categorized and prevent you from accidently deleting something on the system partition when you are handling your files.
Now imagine if your operating system didnt work so well, you needed to reinstall it, and you thought it would be a good idea to reformat the harddisk. Now if you only had one partition on the harddisk you wouldnt be able to format the disk without all your files get deleted.
But because you have partitioned your harddisk to two or more partitions you can format the system partition, reinstall your operating system and still have all your files left intact since you cleverly stored them on the other disk partition.
So now you know!
