Partitioning a hard disk is a delicate operation that must be followed in his steps very carefully. Why do I need to partition and, most important, what is a partition ?

A partition is a portion of hard disk that is dedicated to a new operating system and programs to install. When, for example, we have an OS installed but want to add another to have a boot choice, we must necessarily create a partition using the empty space on the hard disk. It's important to say that if you use space to create it, the data within it will be deleted forever. Once you create an unallocated space you can put into the different operating system. It's also important to create a small partition (called the primary) to add files to restore, in case there are problems. The file system type to create is NTFS, now the same for several years and replacement of FAT file system.
