Partitioning splits a drive into multiple parts, called partitions. Each partition exists as its own logical unit from the point of view of the operating system. This means that you can have one physical drive which has multiple logical partitions with different operating systems on it, each of which may or may not be aware of the other partitions and operating systems.
