Partitioning and Booting is an additional section and not an integral part of the desktop course. Many users, especially corporate desktop users who have system administrators to set up their computers for them will find this section irrelevant. Home users, or advanced Ubuntu users may find this extremely useful.

Simply broken down, a new hard disk is similar to the foundations of a house - it needs some structure and walls before you can start putting things (like furniture) into it. The partition is the first level of foundation on the disk. Once the disk is logically carved up into partitions, it can be thought of as a house with rooms. Each partition (room) is of a specific size which could potentially be resized again after you move it, but would cause some disruption as objects get moved to make room. Once a partition (room) is created it can then be formatted using the filesystem of your choice. Once the filesystem has been laid down, it's possible to start populating the partition with data in the form of files and folders (furniture).

So, a partition is a logical chunk of space allocated out of the entire disk. Depending on how a system is configured at installation time, there may be one or more partitions on a disk. In some instances, it is also possible to modify the layout, number and size of partitions, but this is often considered an expert's function.
