You just bought a new hard drive for your computer. You plan to use this as a secondary hard drive to store all your UMA files. Once installed, what needs to be done to the drive and what do these two tasks do?

The answer is partitioning and formatting.
Once you installed an empty hard drive, it must undergo partitioning. Partitioning is important for the easy management of data and information on the hard drive by regions. Formatting is when the hard disks is configured into a file system, therefore, the operating system can store information.
