How do you perform disk partitioning and formatting?
To perform disk partitioning and formatting, you need to use a disk management tool that can access and modify your storage device. There are different types of disk management tools, such as built-in tools in your operating system, third-party software, and bootable media. Depending on your situation and goal, you may need to use different tools and methods.
For example, if you want to partition and format a new or empty storage device, you can use the built-in tool in your operating system, such as Disk Management in Windows or Disk Utility in Mac. These tools allow you to create, delete, resize, and format partitions easily and quickly.
However, if you want to partition and format an existing storage device that contains your operating system or important data, you may need to use a third-party software or a bootable media. These tools allow you to perform more advanced and complex operations, such as shrinking, extending, moving, merging, or converting partitions. They also allow you to boot from a different source, such as a CD or a USB drive, and access your storage device without interfering with your operating system or data.
