Question

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 ro the drive and what do those tasks do

Answer 1

The drive should be partitioned, mostly to wipe out any hidden partitions the manufacturer put on it.  Then each partition needs a file system put on it.

Partitioning divides up a drive into sections that are logically separate.  Putting a file system on a partition sets up the space of the partition so that a computer can use the space.
