Why partition the hard drive?
Hi
This might be a very basic or even stupid question but why should you partition a hard drive? I have just installed a 250GB hard drive on my G4 Power book after the old one gave out (my first time!! yeahee!)I have read that it's a good idea to partition if you have a big hard drive but I dont understand what partitioning is all about or why or if I should do this? Can someone please explain in simple terms? Thanks
