Static Partition
in the fixed partition the partition is once allocated is fixed. in fixed partition more memory wastage because of internal & external fragmentation.... in variable partition when a process comes then according to need of process the size of memory is allocated to the process
The first attempt to allow for multiprogramming used fixed partitions (also called static partitions) within the main memory-one partition for each job. Because the size of each partition was designated when the system was powered on, each partition could only be reconfigured when the computer system was shut down, reconfigured, and restarted. Thus, once the system was in operation the partition sizes remained static.
it is were your partition (the drive that your operating system is installed it ) has a fixed amount of space this can happen mainly because you have reached the maximum amount of space on your hard drive or it is set by your computer manufacturer to make room for your recover partition in the case that your system fails to start.
a movable or fixed devise, that provides shelter or serves as a partition

Yes you can format a single partition. It is totally safe too and won't affect other partitions. You have to select the particular partition and click the Format button. It requires mostly 4-5 clicks in most computers.
