You get him to do that because if you get a virus on your pc
you can reformat the pc without losing everything, as the operating system will be reloaded on a new partition, and the other partitions will hold your data/music/whatever
Not essential, it's just a way of saving your pc if it needs killing after a virus
Is this for your mum?
