Partitioning separates the drive into logical drives (C:, D:,
E:, etc. in MS Windows). Every drive has at least one primary partition (C:)
and may have several extended partitions. The primary partition contains drive
booting information in the MBR (Master Boot Record) and keeps a record of all
other partitions. [4,18]
