There are two types of partition that may be used to divide a hard disk. These are '''Primary Partitions''' and '''Logical Partitions'''. ''Primary partitions'' are a throwback to the early days of computing, and only allow for a hard disk to be divided into a maximum of four parts, for example, you can have a maximum of four primary partitions, or three primaries and one extended partition which may contain several ''Logical partitions'' depending upon the architecture. They are, in essence, a way of further sub-dividing one primary partition into logical partitions is known as an '''Logical partitions'''. For example:

* The convention for listing drives and partitions is: sd '''[hard disk letter] [partition number]'''. For example, the first (or only) hard disk connected to your system will be listed as sd'''a''', the second sd'''b''', and so on. In respect to partitions, sda'''1''' would be the first partition found in the first hard disk, sda'''2''' would be the second partition, and so on. Logical Partitions will always begin from '5'.
