How To Create Disk Partition In Windows Vista

In a simple definition, the partition is the small space within the larger space. As parable, we take an office space which have many staff rooms in it. We can suppose that an office space is same like the hard disk space and the staff rooms inside office space is same like the hard disk partitions.

If your computer has a large hard disk space, it is good to divide it into partitions for data safety. This is because, if the Windows file system located in C:\ drive is corrupted and causes the computer unbootable, the data files you saved in D:\ drive remain intact or not lost.
