-Often, a mounted volume is called a <em>partition</em>, though they are not identical. "Partition" refers to one or more <em>physical</em> areas of storage on a single drive. One a partition has been mounted, it can be called a volume. You can think of volumes as the labeled, accessible â??storefrontsâ?? to the functional â??back roomsâ?? of partitions and drives.</p>

It also contains a variety of tools used to manage these volumes. Be careful, it is possible to completely erase the data on your disk with these utilities.</p>

-<p> The <app>Gparted</app> window has a visual representation of the volume at the top, and a list at the bottom with various information about each partition. You may notice that most of the options in GParted are currently unavailable; this is because in order to edit, resize, delete, or otherwise change a partition, it must be unmounted.</p>

<p>Your computer most likely has at least one <em>primary</em> partition and a single <em>swap</em> partition. The swap partition is used by your operating system for memory management, and is rarely mounted. The primary partition contains your operating system, applications, settings, and personal files. These files can be distributed among multiple partitions for security or convenience.</p>
<p>One primary partition must contain information that your computer uses to start up, or <em>boot</em>. For this reason it is sometimes called a boot partition, or boot volume. To determine if a volume is bootable, look for <gui>Partition Flags</gui> in <gui>Disk Utility</gui>, or at the <gui>Flags</gui> column in GParted. External media such as USB drives and CDs may also contain a bootable volume.</p>
