Title: OS Partition
Post by: dbrytech on July 12, 2008, 01:56:59 PM
Hey folks, I created a 20gb partition today on my 250gb hard drive and another for the rest.  I did it because most information I found said it would be a good idea to have a seperate partition for my OS.  However, none of them said why?  anyone want to take a crack at it?

Thanks

Security reasons, mostly. Other then that, with partitions you can have more than 1 OS.

By the way, 20gb is awfully big for a OS. I wouldn't make one over 10.

Disk partitioning is the creation of separate divisions of a hard disk.It is used to increase the speed of the computer.

windows operating system use only one hard disk partition to install os.. if u dont make partition then it wil use whole hard disk.. n  if ur system crash.. then might be u need to format hard disk or reinstall the os.. n possibly data loss.. thats why create seperate partition for os.. 20gb is sufficeint..
