NO, partitioning does not reduce performance at all. In fact it is kind of the opposite...
These are some of the advantages of having multiple partitions:
1. If something happens to your OS and you want to format it, then you can do it without worrying about backing up your data to another computer, because you can back them to a different partition. And if you always keep your data in a different partition you don't have to back them at all, you can just format. This is very convenient.
2. If you have a small partition for the OS and Program files you can defrag it regularly (since the size is small it won't take that much time). This will certainly help the overall performance.
3. Partitions are created from the edge of the disk inwards, Since the tracks at the edge of the disk are faster to access, you can put the frequently accessed files (OS and Program files) to these areas to speed things up.
4. Easy to manage.
5. Searching takes less time.

320GB HDD 1k partitioning karanna hondama widiha mokakda? plz help

First you have to decide whether you want single OS or want to make it Multi Boot. As a rule of thumb if single then make two partitions otherwise it should be number of OSs plus one!
