There are different types of malware such Virus, Worms, Spyware, Ransomware, etc. Malware Attack: Malware are created to do a specific task.
Drive Errors/System Crash: If your Windows partition encountered any type of error, and became inaccessible or unbootable, you will lose access to all of your files as well because they were also stored in the same partition. You may be a regular user of Windows but have to use Linux for one particular software that is only available for Linux, and vice-versa. Multi-Boot: Having multiple partitions lets the user install and run multiple operating systems. If your Windows is not working properly, and you want to reinstall it, or you want to perform an OS upgrade, then it would be better if your OS and Data were separate in separate drives. Windows Reinstallation: Having a dedicated Windows drive makes reinstalling Windows a lot easier. Similarly, if you want to create a backup of the user files, your personal files, then you can backup all of your drives except the C. So, if you want to create a backup of Windows files and all of the installed software then you only need to backup your C: drive. Having more than one partition lets you make separate backups for both types of data – Operating System and Program Files, and User files. Better Backups (and Cloning): Backup is the process of making a copy of your data. This all results in a quicker hard disk response. 
Imagine if the same file was placed in a 100GB partition instead then the software has to crawl only 1/10 th of total disk space this time to load that complete file the time required to open that file also reduces drastically. If there was only one partition on a 1TB disk, the fragmentation will scatter the fragments of files throughout the 1TB partition space, which means that in order to play that file, the software assigned to play it has to crawl all of the 1TB to completely load the file from all of its fragments. The problem of Fragmentation: The continuous deleting and copying of files on the computer drive gives birth to the problem of Fragmentation.Having only one partition on your entire drive has many disadvantages such as: The not so tech-savvy users start using the computers the way they are presented to them they put all of their documents, personal files such as pictures, songs, movies, etc. Almost all of the new laptops and PCs come with only one partition, C:\, the same one that has Windows installed on it.
