The Master Boot Record (MBR) scheme has a limit of 2TB for the maximum partition size. Additionally, MBR only supports up to four primary partitions or three primary partitions and one extended partition with multiple logical partitions within it. Modern systems often opt for the newer GUID Partition Table (GPT) scheme, which does not have these limitations.

The primary disk partition is the main partition that your operating system is on your hard drive. If you only had 1 OS on your computer such as Windows, then you would have two partitions, 1 would be a backup/recovery that includes that boot manager, and the second partition (the primary) would be the one that includes all of your files and the OS itself.
What is Norton PartitionMagic?
Partition Magic is a partition table editor. Every hard drive requires a partition table to be usable. However, partition tables also let you cut up the hard drive into chunks and assign each chunk a drive letter. Partitions can be used to organize data, boot from different operating systems, among other things. Partition Magic lets you create, delete, copy, move, check, convert, and rename partitions (assign different drive letters and give different label names). You can also change the block size of your partitions.
How do you partition a floppy disk?
First, make sure you have backed everything up and have nothing on the PC you don't want to lose. The FDISK command will overwrite the entire partition table and render everything on the hard drive useless. Then you start FDisk from the console mode, not within Windows, and then you delete the existing partitions if you don't want them, and then start over with partitions sized to what you want. Do keep in mind that for most cases, you should use a Windows-based partition editor such as EaseUS Partition Master. They are easier to use and lets you configure existing partitions without deleting partitions first.
