finds an SCSI adapter and knows which driver to use, it will be automatically
installed.


If you have no SCSI adapter, an ISA SCSI adapter or a PCI SCSI adapter that
DrakX doesn't recognize, you will be asked if a SCSI adapter is present in your
system. If there is no adapter present, you can click on \"No\". If you click on
\"Yes\", a list of drivers will be presented from which you can select your
specific adapter.


If you have to manually specify your adapter, DrakX will ask if you want to
specify options for it. You should allow DrakX to probe the hardware for the
options. This usually works well.


If not, you will need to provide options to the driver. Please review the User
Guide (chapter 3, section \"Collective informations on your hardware) for hints
on retrieving this information from hardware documentation, from the
manufacturer's Web site (if you have Internet access) or from Microsoft Windows
(if you have it on your system)."),

doPartitionDisks => 
 __("At this point, you need to choose where to install your
Linux-Mandrake operating system on your hard drive. If it is empty or if an
existing operating system uses all the space available on it, you need to
partition it. Basically, partitioning a hard drive consists of logically
dividing it to create space to install your new Linux-Mandrake system.


Because the effects of the partitioning process are usually irreversible,
partitioning can be intimidating and stressful if you are an inexperienced user.
This wizard simplifies this process. Before beginning, please consult the manual
and take your time.


You need at least two partitions. One is for the operating system itself and the
other is for the virtual memory (also called Swap).


If partitions have been already defined (from a previous installation or from
another partitioning tool), you just need choose those to use to install your
Linux system.


If partitions haven't been already defined, you need to create them. 
To do that, use the wizard available above. Depending of your hard drive
configuration, several solutions can be available:

	* Use existing partition: the wizard has detected one or more existing Linux partitions on your hard drive. If
	  you want to keep them, choose this option. 


	* Erase entire disk: if you want delete all data and all partitions present on your hard drive and replace them by
	  your new Linux-Mandrake system, you can choose this option. Be careful with this solution, you will not be
	  able to revert your choice after confirmation.


	* Use the free space on the Windows partition: if Microsoft Windows is installed on your hard drive and takes
	  all space available on it, you have to create free space for Linux data. To do that you can delete your
	  Microsoft Windows partition and data (see \"Erase entire disk\" or \"Expert mode\" solutions) or resize your
	  Microsoft Windows partition. Resizing can be performed without loss of any data. This solution is
	  recommended if you want use both Linux-Mandrake and Microsoft Windows on same computer.


	  Before choosing this solution, please understand that the size of your Microsoft
	  Windows partition will be smaller than at present time. It means that you will have less free space under
	  Microsoft Windows to store your data or install new software.


	* Expert mode: if you want to partition manually your hard drive, you can choose this option. Be careful before
	  choosing this solution. It is powerful but it is very dangerous. You can lose all your data very easily. So,
	  don't choose this solution unless you know what you are doing."),

 __("At this point, you need to choose what
partition(s) to use to install your new Linux-Mandrake system. If partitions
have been already defined (from a previous installation of GNU/Linux or from
another partitioning tool), you can use existing partitions. In other cases,
hard drive partitions must be defined.


To create partitions, you must first select a hard drive. You can select the
disk for partitioning by clicking on \"hda\" for the first IDE drive, \"hdb\" for
the second or \"sda\" for the first SCSI drive and so on.


To partition the selected hard drive, you can use these options:

   * Clear all: this option deletes all partitions available on the selected hard drive.


   * Auto allocate:: this option allows you to automatically create Ext2 and swap partitions in free space of your
     hard drive.


   * Rescue partition table: if your partition table is damaged, you can try to recover it using this option. Please
     be careful and remember that it can fail.


   * Undo: you can use this option to cancel your changes.


   * Reload: you can use this option if you wish to undo all changes and load your initial partitions table


   * Wizard: If you wish to use a wizard to partition your hard drive, you can use this option. It is recommended if
     you do not have a good knowledge in partitioning.


   * Restore from floppy: if you have saved your partition table on a floppy during a previous installation, you can
     recover it using this option.


   * Save on floppy: if you wish to save your partition table on a floppy to be able to recover it, you can use this
     option. It is strongly recommended to use this option


   * Done: when you have finished partitioning your hard drive, use this option to save your changes.
