Partitioning of a hard drive allows you to create multiple "logical" drives from a single "physical" drive. Separate hard drives, be they logical or physical, allow you to store applications and data files separately. Should you need to reinstall an application or OS, you only need to work on the logical "C" drive. The logical data drive/files remain safe.
