Never heard of "partitioning". Clearly not. Let me explain. It's a tried
and tested method of organising one's data based on sound principles and
used by many [good] operating systems. It involves creating seperate areas
on one drive which can be accessed/formated whatever irrespective of each
other.

An award winning piece of windows software seems to be called Partition
Magic. I'm surprised that you haven't heard of it.
