Partitioning A Hdd

[Champ]

Hey i now how to partition, but what exactly does it do? and will i be able to acess both the new partition and all of the things on the other part of my computer?

Partitioning a hard drive kind of splits it into parts.
You can make one 80gb hard drive act as a 30gb and a 50gb for example, and yes you can access both of these. It is the same as having two sperate drives in your computer.

Get yourself Partition Magic and use that. Very easy and fast to do.

If you don&#39;t need Partition Magic then I advise you to stay away from it. It can really screw things up bigtime.

It is better to use a bootdisk and good old FDISK. Plenty of tutorials can be found on the internet.

In what ways can it screw things up "big time"?
