	Partition (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer engineering, hard disk drive partitioning is the creation of logical divisions upon a hard disk that allows one to apply operating system-specific logical formatting.
		Disk partitioning is a simple technique which can be viewed as a precursor of logical volume management.
		The partition table, as used in the IBM PC architecture, was first devised in 1982, when hard drives were coming into use.

		PARTITION - A partition is a logical division of a hard disk created so that you can have different operating systems on the same hard disk or to create the appearance of having separate hard drives.
		Partitioning may be likened to a farmer dividing his fields into plots and Formatting would be digging furrows prior to sowing each plot.
		How fast your drive formats depends on a number of factors - the size of your hard drive, the speed of your hard drive and the speed of your computer are the three main ones.

		Purely optical disk drives often are used as a secondary form of storage, but the computer to which they are connected is likely to use a magnetic storage medium for primary disk storage.
		Data on a disk is read by passing the head back over the surface of the disk; as the head encounters changes in the stored magnetic field, it generates a weak electrical current that indicates the presence or absence of flux transitions in the originally recorded signal.
		When the drive is commanded to move the heads to a specific cylinder, the internal drive electronics use the signals received by the servo head to determine the position of the heads.

	RADIFIED: Hard Drive Partitioning Strategies
		Adding a second hard drive to your system is like buying a vacation home at the shore or the lake.
		Exception: Hard drives that will be dedicated solely for video capture, or digital media, such as MP3s or lossless audio files, are best partitioned as a single, large partition.
		Now that hard drive space is so cheap, many people dedicate an entire hard drive to rip and encode their whole CD collection.

	Disk Drive Partitioning with RedHat Linux 6.0
		There are a few different types of PC disk partitions (which you may know if you've used the DOS fdisk partitioning tool to make partitions for Windows.) You can have up to 4 "primary" partitions.
		If you decide later that you need more space in one partition and can give up space from another, it is possible, although not necessarily without pain, to be able to temporarily move files out of the way, delete and re-add a partition or two with larger or smaller sizes.
		Each partition has a separate file system created in it.) The "mount point" is just the full path name of the directory that will be the start of the file system in that partition.

	Hard Disk Partitioning and Formatting Procedure
		In particular, in a system with multiple hard disk drives be careful to make sure you are working on the right physical disk or you may accidentally end up disturbing the contents of the wrong drive.
		Beware that DOS drive letters can change after creating or deleting partitions, and that with multiple hard disks the partitions may be lettered in an unexpected sequence.
		Warning: If you have a second hard disk in the system and it has a primary DOS partition, that partition is probably assigned D: because DOS assigns letters to all primary partitions before any logical partitions.

	Partitioning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-08)
		Secure the drive to the inside of the chassis using screws that are not long enough to pierce the drive.
		If you want more partitions then decide what percentage of the drive you want to be drive C. For example, if you have a 30 gigabyte drive, and you want a 10 gigabyte C drive, choose 33% (make sure you type in the percent sign).
		You can't boot from the hard drive yet as it hasn't been formatted or made a boot drive.

		This was no problem on a floppy disk or on the old, small hard drives of 20, 80, or at most a few hundred MB capacity.
		The workaround was to partition the drive, since the smaller multiple volumes would naturally have smaller block sizes.
		Partitioning can also be convenient for Macs that are used by more than one individual -- everyone can have their own personal volume with files, applications, and System preferences set up the way they like (provided they install a system on that volume.
