Hard Disk Management:A Menu Approach

If your hard disk is (soon to be) installed, you're ready to learn about hard disk management. In this article, I'll attempt to briefly define hard disk management and why it's important. I'll outline one method of organizing a hard disk and explain each step. I've included a short glossary of terms that may not be familiar and a bibliography of several articles that present different approaches to the same process (I found Nieburg's article especially helpful). When you've completed this article, I hope you'll have a clearer understanding of what a hard disk can do for you and what you must do to achieve that usefulness. If you choose to follow me step‐by‐step, you'll also have a menu‐driven hard disk system that can manage your functional requirements easily.
