Spectre 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 No, because a partition would imply division.? I'm old school, I don't consider it a partition unless there are more than one.? I'm just used to the days where you need to have partition magic to create partitions rather than doing it through the windows install disk.Uh, no... it's still a partition. A disk is virtually unusable by the average user if it has not been partitioned at all. Even if a disk only has a single partition, it is still divided - you cannot partition every single byte of space on a disk, so a primary partition still leaves some over, hence making it a partition. And if you look under the definition that you provided it says: Computer Science. A section of storage space on a hard disk.Anyway, it's better to have multiple disks rather than partitions where possible. Seperate partitions on the same disk that act as virtual drives still use the same physical disk, hence increasing its work load and still wearing on the heads.
