Partitioning allows you to create a logical separation between different operating systems and data.
For example, you could have a windows operating system on one partition, a Linux operating system on another partition, and your personal data (My Documents in windows and /home in Linux) on a third. This allows you to wipe one of your partitions clean and reformat without having to backup the data on the others (say for example, your windows install gets a virus).

What is guided partitioning?
Guided partitioning is an option in the installation of certain Linux distributions. It divides the hard drive into multiple partitions based on available space and typical usage patterns. Generally it does a tolerable job for single-drive machines, though anyone with previous systems administrator experience will probably do better, and certainly so for multiple-drive machines.

Is partitioning same as fragmentation?
No. Partitioning is the process of creating a section of a hard drive that is read as a separate drive by the computer (For example, if you have a 100GB C drive, you can split that into a 70GB C drive and a 30GB D drive). Fragmentation is the process overtime where the files on a hard drive become disorganized and can eventually affect the performance of the computer.
