- been moved out of the area that is about to be used. It is highly
- recommended to back up your personal files.</para><para>With this option, the installer displays the remaining Windows

- <para>That means that from 160 GB and over of available place, the installer

- <note>
- <para>If you are using an UEFI system, the ESP (EFI System Partition) will
- be automatically detected, or created if it does not exist yet, and
- mounted on /boot/EFI. The "Custom disk partitioning" option is the only
- one that allows to check it has been correctly done</para>

- <note>
- <para>If you are using a Legacy (as known as CSM or BIOS) system with a
- GPT disk, you need to create a Bios boot partition if not already
- existing. It is an about 1 MiB partition with no mount point. Choose <xref linkend="diskdrake"/> to be able to create it with the Installer like any
- other partition, just select BIOS boot partition as filesystem
- type.</para>

- <para>Some newer drives are now using 4096 byte logical sectors, instead
- of the previous standard of 512 byte logical sectors. Due to lack of
- available hardware, the partitioning tool used in the installer has not
- been tested with such a drive. Also some ssd drives now use an erase block
- size over 1 MB. We suggest to pre-partition the drive, using an
- alternative partitioning tool like gparted, if you own such a device, and
- to use the following settings:</para>
- <para>"Align to" "MiB"</para>
- <para>"Free space preceding (MiB)" "2"</para>
- <para>Also make sure all partitions are created with an even number of
- megabytes.</para>
