Partition Tools

• Partition means to divide a certain part of a hard drive for backup and system files,like separating a part from the whole.

• In most computers, the primary disk is C:, since it hold the operating system andprogram files. When a hard drive on the computer is partitioned, there are 2independent drives, the primary for the OS, and the other for backup files.

• Since the 2 drives are independent, the drives work isolated and when becomescorrupt, the other is not affected.

• As a computer user, the person may opt to modify, resize the total capacity ordelete any partitions made within the computer through the compiled list ofprograms which include Macrium Reflect, Partition Image and Partition Saving asone of the programs included.

• And that way, the creation of hard drive partitions without the need of installing anOS like Windows, Linux or Mac is lessened, which is the main goal of thesecomputer programs, that is to add, modify or remove computer drive partitionswithout compromising the reinstallation of an Operating System.
