No. Partitioning is the process of creating a section of a hard drive that is read as a separate drive by the computer (For example, if you have a 100GB C drive, you can split that into a 70GB C drive and a 30GB D drive). Fragmentation is the process overtime where the files on a hard drive become disorganized and can eventually affect the performance of the computer.

How external fragmentation can be remove in contigous memory allcation?

External fragmentation in contiguous memory allocation can be reduced by implementing compaction, which involves shifting allocated memory blocks to consolidate free space into a single large block. Another technique is to use dynamic partitioning with variable-sized memory blocks to minimize wasted space between memory allocations and deallocations. Using memory allocation strategies like first fit, best fit, or buddy system can also help in reducing external fragmentation.
