Disk partitioning is simply the division of secondary storage (HDDs), through the creation of multiple partitions. And to partition a drive requires that you must first understand the features and limitations of the basic and dynamic disk storage types.
Basic disks are the storage types most often used with Windows, containing mainly primary partitions and logical drives, which in turn are usually formatted with a file system to become a volume for file storage. While, Dynamic disks provides the ability to create volumes that span multiple disks that basic disks cannot offer.
