+The hard drive in your PC is most likely one big object. It's the simplest way to look a hard drive -- like it's one big filing drawer full of folders and files. But you can, with a little work, split that hard drive into many different file drawers -- one for system files, one for your documents, one for music and so on.
+
+Partitioning a hard drive is helpful for both organization and speed. It also allows you to, for example, run Windows and Linux together on the same PC or, using Apple's BootCamp, run Windows and Mac OS X alongside each other.
+
+Partitioning a drive is easy, but it does require erasing the drive, so make sure you're either starting with a brand new hard drive or have backed up all the files on your existing drive. In the case of the actual system hard drive you'll need to partition from an install disk or another machine since the software that's partitioning your drive can't erase the drive it's running on.
+
+==Mac OS X==
+
+To partition a drive on your Mac, just attach the drive and open the application "Disk Utility." Then select your attached drive in the menu on the left and choose the "Partition" tab. The drop down menu offers a number of partitioning schemes, select the number of partitions you'd like and then chose a format for each (see our guide to formatting). 
+
+Once you've selected a format, click the "Apply" button and wait a few minutes for the drive to finish formatting.
+
+If you'd like to partition the system hard drive inside your Mac, the procedure is the same, but you'll need to boot your Mac from an OS X install DVD or another Mac. If you're using the install DVD, before you start the install process head to the menubar and select the Disk Utility application. Once Disk Utility opens the process is the same as explained above.
+
+Remember, partitioning a drive erases all the data on your Mac, so make sure you backup all your files before you begin.
+
+==Future Outlook==
+
+Eventually our computers won't have hard drives, we'll simply connect to "the cloud," a web server that hosts all our files and makes having a large, partitioned hard drive pointless. Instead small, fast solid state drive will power minimal operating systems and all our work and files will happen over ubiquitus wireless connections.
