2.4 Installation 2.4.1 Personal Computer (PC) Assembling 2.4.1.1 Assemble the components of a PC. 2.4.1.2 Display cooperation in assembling the components of a PC. 2.4 Installation 2.4.2 Hard Disk Partitioning and Formatting 2.4.2.1 Format and partition the hard disk. SECTION C 1. (i) PC01 has hard disk partitioning. There are 4 partitions. (ii) 1 Limits Accidental Or Deliberate Damage Of Your Data Partitioning a disk will store different application into different partitions. If the partition where an application is installed on is corrupted or accidentally deleted, the data in another partition would not be erased. You will only need to r ecover one partition,which is faster than recovering the entire hard disk. 2. Increases Security Encryption is one of the methods of protecting critical data fro theft or corruption, but it slows down the computer performance. By partitioning the disk, you can encrypt only those partitions that need protection, and other parts of your system will run unencrypted and hence faster 3. Making The Computer Faster A computer can find data faster in a partitioned disk. A computer finds files and directories quicker as it needs to search only one partition, not the whole disk. 4. Organises Information By partitioning a disk, you can organise your data logically. The data is arranged in categories according to different functions or objectives. 5. Increases Productivity Partitioning a disk can increase productivity. You will save time searching for a particular file and may complete some useful tasks.
