partition
A reserved part of disk or memory that is set aside for some purpose. On a PC, new hard disks must be partitioned before they can be formatted for the operating system, and the Fdisk utility is used for this task. It can make one partition, creating one drive letter for the entire disk, or it can make several partitions, sized to your requirements. For example, drives C:, D: and E: could be the same physical disk, but function as three "logical" drives to the operating system and user. See primary partition, extended partition and DOS Fdisk.
