💾BONUS: primary partition

Primary partition: The only partition on which an OS can be installed. There can only be 4 primary partitions per hard drive or 3 primary and one extended.

Secondary/Extended partition: It was designed to break the 4 primary partition limitation on a single physical disk. There can only be one partition of this type per disk, and it only serves to contain logical partitions.

We will start by creating this:

  1. We will create a new partition.

  3. We choose the type of partition. We choose primary because it will be the partition where the Operating System will be installed.
