Data Recovery Glossary > Partitioning

Partitioning is the act of dividing a disk into small sectors, each sector is treated as a separate file system. Partitioning is creating logical division of a disk so that it can easily be accessed by multiple operating systems. The primary purpose of partitioning is to split the large disk into small areas which the File Allocation Table can easily access. Partitioning goes synonymously with physical formatting.

Partitioning has various advantages:

Supports multiple operating systems
Effective utilization of disk space
Protection of file in case of any damage or malfunctioning of operating system.
