<p><a name="doPartitionDisks-pa1"></a>In this screen you can see
the content of your hard drive(s) and see the solutions the DrakX
partitioning wizard found for where to install
<span class="application">Mageia</span>.
</p>
<p>The options available from the list below will vary
depending on your particular hard drive(s) layout and content.
</p>
<p></p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul class="itemizedlist">
<li class="listitem">
<p>Use Existing Partitions</p>
<p>If this option is available, then existing Linux compatible
partitions have been found and may be used for the
installation.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>Use Free Space</p>
<p>If you have unused space on your hard drive then this option
will use it for your new Mageia installation.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>Use Free Space on a Windows Partition</p>
<p>If you have unused space on an existing Windows partition, the
installer may offer to use it.
</p>
<p>This can be a useful way of making room for your new Mageia
installation.
</p>
<p>Note that this involves shrinking the size of the Windows
partition, which is not without some risk. The partition must be
"clean" meaning that Windows must have closed down correctly the last
time it was used.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul class="itemizedlist">
<li class="listitem">
<p>Erase and use Entire Disk.</p>
<p>This option will use the complete drive for Mageia.</p>
<p>Note! This will erase ALL data on the selected hard drive. Take
care!
</p>
<p>If you intend to use part of the disk for something else, or you
already have data on the drive that you are not prepared to lose, then
do not use this option.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul class="itemizedlist">
<li class="listitem">
<p>Custom</p>
<p>This gives you complete control over the placing of the
installation on your hard drive(s). It allows for the use of a
separate partition for the /home folder (which is recommended) and
many more options. [saying that means that the other options don't
allow a separate partition for /home]
</p>
<p>For users new to Linux the /home folder is where all your
personal files and settings are stored.
