Partition editor

Partition editor

"partition editor", "partitioner", and "partitioning utility" are all synonyms for a computer utility program used to view, create, alter, and delete disk partitions on a computer storage device, most commonly a hard disk, but often a USB flash drive or other storage medium.

A "partition" is a section or segment of the storage space on a storage device. By partitioning a large device into several partitions it is possible to isolate various types of data from one another, and allow the coexistence of two or more operating systems simultaneously.
