Hi
Another question about partition
I don't know a lot on how a hard drive could stop from working, but I have heard it happens, so I'm assuming that this is one of the ways it could happen. A 10% of my hard drive could fail and my whole hard drive will stop from working, So I wonder that if I have multiples partitions on it, The files in the partitions that are out of the reach of this 10% corrupted area will have a better chance on being recuperate it, than if on the other hand I have the same hard drive without multiples partitions and 10% of it fail, I will have less chances of recuperating anything on it.
I know this maybe doesn't make any sense at all, since maybe this is not even the way, hard drives could stop from working, because it could be that when a hard drive dies, everything in there will be lost not matter how many partitions I have on it, but I have partitions on my hard drive and I want to make sure I know all its benefits before I get rid of them.
So having a multiples partitions on my HD make it any safer if my hard drive just fail or if an area is corrupted?
Thanks
Alex
