Hard drive encryption can provide extra protection beyond the protection that system passwords gives. In order to encrypt ones hard drive, one can use a free tool like TrueCrypt for Windows operating systems or FileVault for Mac operating systems.

Why and or how did my hard drive get partitioned when I put full disk encryption on my computer?

That depends on encryption you are using. In any case OS creates partitions and formats it (or specialized software). Next if you have software encryption, than special driver is installed which either encrypted files or whole disk by intercepting read and write operations called by OS. If you have hardware encryption, then your whole hard drive is encrypted on hardware level. It means that hardware has extra steps before writing or reading information on hard drive.
