yeah, you may have your whole hard disk as one partition. That won't be very smart though.
Yes
There are several partitioning products available that are easy and intuitive to use.
disk partitioning is the act of dividing a hard disk into multiple logical storage units referred to mas part ions to treat one disk as if it were multiple disks. disk formatting is the process of preparing a data storage disk for initial use.
Use Disk Utility to format or partition hard drives. You should back up the drive before formatting or partitioning.
Okay, if the machine lost power during the partitioning process, you will have to start over with the partitioning as all the data on the hard disk will be scrambled. The process of partitioning modifies the data structure on the hard disk in very fundamental ways, interrupting this process halfway through will leave the hard disk with corrupted or missing partitions. Most likely all partitions will need to be removed and redone. Removing corrupted partitions may require a low-level format.
Use any disk partitioning program to resize the drive.

If the disk is already formatted, the disk will appear in most file managers (such as Nautilus or Dolphin). If the disk is not formatted, you'll have to use a partitioning tool like GParted to format it. Root privileges are necessary to format and mount it (unless the device is specified as user-mountable in /etc/fstab).
I assume you mean floppy disk. Hard disks (hard-drives) are designed to be connected and not usually removable without opening the case.if you are referring to a Zip drives' hard-disk then no - not usually - unless it is required by an application or as a security measure.
A hard disk can be either internal or external and one can use it to save files. The parts of a hard disk are the disk case, spindle, disk platter, actuator and the read-write arm.
This kind of a hard disk device is the most commontly use in office.
To manage disks via the command line, you can use various commands depending on your operating system. For Windows, you might use diskpart to access the disk partitioning utility, where you can then enter commands like list disk, select disk X, and format. On Linux, commands like lsblk to list disks, fdisk or parted for partitioning, and mkfs to format a disk are commonly used. Always ensure you have the necessary permissions and backup your data before performing disk management tasks.
