Why partitioning and formatting is a prerequisite to installing an operating system?..

Answer / Akansha Bhargav

Partitioning and formatting are required because they create separate logical sections (partitions) on the hard drive, and format each section with a specific file system that the operating system can understand. This organization simplifies the installation process by allowing the operating system to know exactly where to install itself and its files.
