General Question Re Partioning
I have never formatted a hard drive before. I have never installed an operating system before. I have never even thought about partitioning my hard drive. But I notice that a lot of people here have partitioned drives.
Could I ask some of the knowledgeable people here to explain the advantages of partitioning a drive? Is there any significant advantage to my doing it when I install Windows 7?
I do not intend to dual boot or anything like that and I have a single 500GB internal drive plus a 500GB external drive.
