Default Why do you partition your hard drive?

I'm starting to learn more and more about computers ever since I built my own last year.

Running an ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard with an Athlon 1.8GHz processor, 1.0G DDR PC2700 RAM, ATI 9500 AGP video card (64mb RAM), 1 40GB, 1 80GB, 1 120GB hard drives. I reflashed the chip with an updated version from ASUS thinking that might speed things up.

But I never understood why you would need to partition your hardrive? What's the purpose? I would like to reload Windows XP HE to make it run a little faster, seems sort of slow the past month or two.

I've been running VCOM Fix-It Utilities which optimizes hard drive performance and defragmentation, but not noticing any quicker boot-up or speed.

Any suggestions?
