From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

An operating system is the software on a computer that manages the way different programs use its hardware, and regulates the ways that a user controls the computer. Operating systems are found on almost any device that contains a computer with multiple programs—from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers, and even automobiles. Some popular modern operating systems for personal computers include Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (see also: list of operating systems, comparison of operating systems).
An operating system can be saved on a CD, floppy disk, or flash drive.

What is Partition?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Disk Partitioning - is the act or practice of dividing the storage space of a hard disk drive into separate data areas known as partition.

• Probably, you already have a partition. Delete all your partitions.

• After deleting your partitions create again two partitions and divide the total size of the disk.

• You’re done creating partitions. If you can see that there is left unpartitioned space, just don’t mind it.

• Press enter to install.

• There will be a prompt that will ask you, “Format the partition using NTFS file system (QUICK)”, and “Format the partition using NTFS file system”. I recommend you not to format it quickly because sometimes there will be errors.

• Press enter to continue.

• Just wait for some minutes in order to install everything. You need to be patient.

• Your computer will reboot automatically, but you don’t have to worry about it.

• You will be asked to enter your name and the CD key. Enter the CD key and click NEXT, NEXT, and NEXT.
