Creating new partitions

To use the space on a hard disk, it must be partitioned. Partitioning is the process of dividing the hard disk's space into logical divisions which are called partitions. Each partition may function as a separate disk with an assigned drive letter, its own file system, etc.

To create a new partition:

1. On the Partition creation step of the wizard, select the unallocated space, and then click Create new partition.
2. Specify the following settings for the partition being created:
   • Size and position
   • File system
   • Partition type (available only for MBR disks)
   • Partition letter and label

   Refer to Partition settings for details.

3. Click Accept.
