WINDOWS PARTITION

There are several types of partitions that we can create on your hard drive are:

Primary Partition

Partitions are commonly used as a storage operating system. In this there is a primary partition boot partition that stores the files needed to start up the operating system. A hard disk can be partitioned into a maximum of 4 pieces without the extended partition primary partition, or a maximum of 3 pieces of primary partition if there is an extended partition.

Extended Partition

Is a partition boundary between the primary partition and logical partition. In the Extended partition can consist of one or more logical partition. Extended partition is not a drive but only limiting it.

Logical Partition

Logical partition 

Is part of the Extended Partition and used as data storage.

To partition a hard drive we can use several ways, among which:

• Partitioning a hard disk when installing the Operating System.
• Using the Disk Management tool of Windows.
