Disk partitioning

When you have a big piece of cake, you can cut it into smaller pieces to share with your friends. When you use a computer, you also have a big space called a hard drive where you can save all your pictures, videos, and documents. But it's helpful to divide that space into smaller pieces called partitions to manage your files better.

Think of your hard drive as a big pizza. Partitioning is like cutting the pizza into different slices. You can have one slice for your favorite games, another slice for school work, and another slice for family photos. By doing this, everything stays nice and organized and easy to find.

Each partition can have its own special rules, like giving more storage to one slice versus another, or making sure important files are on a separate slice so they aren't accidentally deleted. It's like putting a lock on one slice of the pizza to keep it safe.

Overall, partitioning is like cutting up your hard drive into smaller, more manageable pieces so you can keep everything organized and find what you need quickly.
