With the increasing trend of hard disk sizes, it makes more sense than ever to partition your drive. A partition is a logical division of hard disk space into storage units. These storage units are what is termed a partition.
Its common practice these days to store the operating system (Windows files) on one partition and other files (like personal documents, media, music, work data) on a separate partition on the same hard drive. The benefits of this are, should something happen to the operating system it can be repaired or the OS partition can be formatted without touching the users personal data.
Follow the simple steps below to learn How to partition a hard drive in Windows 8:
- Press Windows key + R (This brings up the Run dialog box)
- In the Run box type diskmgmt.msc and click OK (This will bring up the Disk Management console)
- You will now see a list of your hard drives and their partitions. (See picture below)
- You will need Unallocated hard disc partition to create a new partition. If you do not have any Unallocated space, you can create it by simply shrinking an existing disk partition. To do this simple right-click your hard drive partition click Shrink Volume (See picture below)

FaceTime is a technology created by Apple Computer that allows you to make video calls to other people using a Mac computer, iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
With FaceTime, you can talk to and easily see the other person. The FaceTime concept is similar to Microsoft's Skype service, the main difference of course being that FaceTime only works with Apple devices.
To make a call to another person using FaceTime is a simple process. Just click on the phone number of the person you want to call if using an iPhone, or use their email address if using a Mac, iPad or iPod Touch.
The call will ring on all Mac devices the recipient has, even if FaceTime is not running on the devices.
