	An Introduction to Disk Partitions
	This appendix is not necessarily applicable to architectures other than AMD64 and Intel{nbsp}64. However, the general concepts mentioned here may apply.
	This section discusses basic disk concepts, disk repartitioning strategies, the partition naming scheme used by Linux systems, and related topics.
	If you are comfortable with disk partitions, you can skip ahead to xref:Disk_Partitions.adoc#sect-disk-partitions-making-room[Strategies for Disk Repartitioning] for more information on the process of freeing up disk space to prepare for a {PRODUCT} installation.
	Hard Disk Basic Concepts
	Hard disks perform a very simple function - they store data and reliably retrieve it on command.
	When discussing issues such as disk partitioning, it is important to have a understanding of the underlying hardware; however, since the theory is very complicated and expansive, only the basic concepts will be explained here. This appendix uses a set of simplified diagrams of a disk drive to help explain what is the process and theory behind partitions.
	xref:Disk_Partitions.adoc#figu-partitions-unused-drive[An Unused Disk Drive], shows a brand-new, unused disk drive.

	File Systems
	To store data on a disk drive, it is necessary to _format_ the disk drive first. Formatting (usually known as "making a _file system_pass:attributes[{blank}]") writes information to the drive, creating order out of the empty space in an unformatted drive.
