I do not understand the basics of partitions of a harddrive.
Why is it desirable to partition a drive?
What happens when you do partition?  Do you end up with a
number of separate harddrives, or do they automatically read each other?
I have a 20Gig harddrive and only one "C" 2Gig drive, and no other drives.
The C drive is about full.  What happens when it gets full?
Will I have to repartition, reformat, reload WIN98SE and all of my data?
