Correct Answer: partitioned
Partitioning this is simply a virtual division of a drive or disk into two or more volumes and defining how much space can be allocated to a particular volume of space within that drive. Formatting, in short, can be defined as a preparation of a drive for initial use, hence stating its file system.
