What is the difference between a boot partition and system partition?

In: Computer Hardware

[Edit]

Answer

A Boot Partition is what your computer boots from, DO NOT delete this, I did once and I lost my operating system. A System partition is where your Windows version is installed.

A CD-R is a Compact Disk that can be Written to once, it can store upto 700MB's (sometimes 650MB) and once you have writtin to it it can't be used again. A CD-RW is a Compact Disk that can be used like a floppy disk, you can write and rewrite over it many times before it becomes useless. To use a CD-R or a CD-RW disk you need a CD-RW drive, these cost about £25 ($30). If you need any more help email me.
