What is disk partitioning?

Disk partitioning is the creation of one or more regions on a  hard disk or other secondary storage, so that an operating system  can manage information in each region separately.

Partitioning is typically the first step of preparing a newly manufactured disk, before any files or directories have been created.

Remember:
    1 KB  = thousand bytes
    1 MB  = million bytes
    1 GB  = billion bytes
    1 TB   = trillion bytes

Remember:
    1 KB  = 1024 bytes
    1 MB  = 1024 KB
    1 GB  = 1024 MB
    1 TB   = 1024 GB
