	Free Hard Disk Backup and Restore, Hard Disk Image and Cloning Utilities (thefreecountry.com)
		The hard disk and partition imaging software take a snapshot of your hard disk so that you can restore your system at a later time to the exact same state the system was when you imaged the disk or partition.
		Hard disk imaging software are sometimes also used to clone a hard disk to another (useful for the times you change or upgrade your hard disk).
		It can image a partition that is currently in use (such as the system drive), compress the image while backing up, restore an image to another partition/drive and clone a drive.

	Disk partitioning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most filesystems write files to disk in groups of fixed-size clusters whose size is directly proportional to the size of the partition the filesystem is on.
		With Microsoft Windows, the standard partitioning scheme is to create a single partition, the C: drive, where the operating system, user data, applications, and page file all reside.
		A /home partition is useful for desktop uses as it allows a clean reinstall (or a fresh install of another Linux distribution) while leaving data intact.

	RAM disk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		RAM disks were popular as boot media in the 1980s, when hard drives were expensive, floppy drives were slow, and a few systems, such as the Amiga series and the Apple IIgs, supported booting from a RAM disk.
		A proper disk cache in the operating system will usually obviate the performance motivation for a RAM disk; a disk cache fulfills a similar role (fast access to data that is notionally stored on a disk) without the various penalties (data loss in the event of power loss, static partitioning, etc.).
		RAM disks are, however, indispensable in situations in which a physical disk is not available, or where access to, or changing a physical disk is not desirable (such as in the case of Live CDs).

		For example, ‘sd0eab’ would be used to specify the second partition in the first partition inside the fifth top-level partition on the first SCSI disk.
		This allows greater flexibility in the use of nested partitions, while also placing greater responsibility on the user’s shoulders to ensure that the partition information on the disk is correct.
		Partition 0 is used to represent the whole slice, and Partition 0, Slice 0 is the whole drive.

	Microsoft Windows XP - DiskPart
		On GPT disks that are used to start Windows XP 64-Bit Edition, the EFI System partition is the first partition on the disk, followed by the Microsoft Reserved partition.
		Displays a list of disks and information about them, such as their size, amount of available free space, whether the disk is a basic or dynamic disk, and whether the disk uses the master boot record (MBR) or GUID partition table (GPT) partition style.
		This discrepancy occurs because dynamic disks contain entries in the partition table for the system volume or boot volume (if present on the disk) and a partition that occupies the remainder of the disk in order to reserve the space for use by dynamic volumes.

		One partition for the files you use very often, one partition for the operating system and program files (you can merge these partitions) and one partition for the files you use rarely or archive files, e.g.
		We recommend to create a partition of required size on your hard disk and to keep it free until the case you immediately need a lot of free disk space.
		When you perform hard disk partitioning operations it's necessary for your partition manager to work properly because there is always a danger to lose your data.

	Organise Disk Drive Partition
		Partitioning creates a logical file structures on your hard disk so as to divide various potions of a hard disk to be used for different purposes such as a dual operating systems, storage or organizational purposes.
		Partitioning your hard disk helps to categorize your files into logical groupings so that you can search for files and make changes more effectively.

	partition - a definition from Whatis.com
		Typically, a one-partition hard disk is labelled the "C:" drive ("A:" and "B:" are typically reserved for diskette drives).
		It includes a partition table that defines how many partitions the hard disk is formatted into, the size of each, and the address where each partition begins.
		For this reason, you should have a back-up version of your partition sector on a diskette known as a bootable floppy.

	Gripes about Partition Magic
		The disk was connected with a special cable to the USB port and partition magic was used to copy partitions from the laptop to the external 2.5 hard disk.
		Partition Magic was also used to move and re-size the partitions on the extra hard disk.
		Partition Magic copied the internal hard disk partition to the external one and the next time it ran, it complained about the Error 110 on the partition it had just created.

	Hard Disk - Howto
		However the procedures I have followed may not work with another hard disk or machine or whatever, have the potential of trashing your hard disk and I cannot be held responsible in case of any loss or damage that may be caused by using these procedures.
		Stan Brown had a page on hard disk partitioning that was very informative and gives good value for your time - it talks of partitions, the why and how of it.
		Note that modifying partition tables does nothing to the data in the hard disk and data can be accessed once you restore the original values - provided you did not write to the disk in between.

	Hard Disk Partition Sizes - FreeBSDwiki
		Many of these partitions are entirely too small, and they are not sized with any thought regarding the usage of the machine.
		Partitions would allow you to only check critical partitions and put off the rest of the checks on the larger partitions until the system is stable.
		The danger of making this partition too small is that you will cause yourself unnecessary grief when you want to build a large package or when a program you are running needs alot of temporary space (such as a video editor).
