HDD Partitions needed or not?

[Sarath]

Umm I have absolutely no idea about ubuntu and how it does it.

Actually I will let it rest now. I will be installing Ubuntu only in July so I will wait till then for my queries. I am sure I wont remember everything till then. I hope the fast track on ubuntu is of some help.

Thanks sygeek. I will be bothering you soon

Regarding how Ubuntu does it? This should give you a good idea although it is an old guide. And it is NOT difficult as some might say. I'm saying this from a normal users perspective.

I just got a new PC with a 1TB HDD. I do not know how to make partitions in the HDD and dont know the benifits of the same. Hence havent made any.

So I want to know if it is essential to make partitions in the drive?

Ans: It will be always better to make some partitions in drive for data safety and also for system performance. Which OS do you have?
