How to create a partition for your computer hard drive.

Why is it important to partition the drive of your system?


When installing applications on your system, it is likely that at some point one of the apps may get corrupted. 

This results from updates from the software or virus obtained from external storage devices like flash disks plugged in the system.

Partioning your hard drive is simply dividing it into different sections which can be managed separately. If you have one drive on your system, you can create two partions and use one for the main Operating system and the other part for your backup files.

This makes it easy to recover your files in case the OS becomes damaged or unusable.

It is important to note that a whole drive can get damaged and you would lose all your information in that case.

That means partioning alone is not enough. One best practice today is backing up your information in an external storage or using a cloud storage system like Google drive which gives free 15gb storage space.

How to create a partition:

Usually, the best time to organize your hard drive is when installing the operating system.

1. When you have your installation device ready, plug into your PC and hit the restart option. If you have not created a bootable flash disk, read this article(Using Rufus) or this one(using ventoy)

2. Press either the escape key, f9, f10, or f12 to enter the boot options screen. It differs from one computer brand to the other. You can search online how to open boot options by simply specifying your computer brand. 

3. Select your boot device and proceed to the os installation page which gives you a clear guide.

4. You will be provided with options to Format your drive or keep old files. If it is a new drive, there won't be any need to do the above.

5. Divide your hard drive into any prefered number of partitions.

6. You can then select the location you would like the OS to be installed in and proceed with the installation steps.

The headphone was a very cheap one, the P47 wireless headphones, which is one of the most common and cheapest headphones today. I had no money but wanted to get the experience. On getting the headphone, I became a celeb in my neighborhood, all eyes on me. Let's drop the fantasizing. I used the headphone for slightly over a year.
