How to Partition Your Hard Drive

A hard drive partition can allow you to easily test out new operating systems (like Windows 7beta) or create a simple way to separate your user data from the operating system install.  You can divide your hard drive into multiple partitions, some bootable, others not.

The main reasons for having separate partitions are:

• to better organize your files


• to separate system files, log files, cache and virtual memory from data files and programs


• to create separate virtual drives for multiple operating systems • to protect or isolate groups of files to make data recovery easier
