The document discusses partitioning a computer's hard drive. It recommends dividing the hard drive into two partitions - one for the operating system and programs, and another for user data. This allows backing up the data partition separately. It also suggests creating an image backup of the operating system partition for easy restoration in case of issues. The overall goal is to easily back up and recover personal data and restore the computer's functionality if problems occur.
