Generally speaking, partitioning is to divide mass storage into isolated sections. In DOS system, you can partition a disk, and each partition will work like a separate disk drive. Partitioning is particularly useful if you run more than one operating system. For example, you might reserve one partition for Windows XP and another for Windows Vista.
In addition, partitioning on DOS and Windows machines can improve disk efficiency. This is because the FAT system used by these operating systems automatically assigns cluster size based on the disk size: the larger the disk, the larger the cluster. Unfortunately, large clusters will result in disk space waste which is called slack space. To help partitioning and make better use of your hard disk, there are many partition tools, such as Fdisk, Partition Magic, EaseUS Partition Master.
Partition Recovery is a significant part of data recovery. Data recovery is the process of salvaging data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or inaccessible storage device when it cannot be accessed normally.
