When referring to a computer hard disk drive, a partition is a segment of the hard drive that is separated from other portions of the hard disk drive. Partitions help enable users easily divide a computer hard disk drive into different drives and/or into different portions for multiple operating systems to run on the same drive.
With older file allocation tables, such as FAT 16, creating smaller partitions allows a computer hard disk drive to run more efficiently and save more disk space. However, with new file allocation tables, such as FAT32, this is no longer the case.
