- <warning>
- <para>This tool is very powerful, a tiny error or a cat jumping on your
- keyboard can lead to losing all data on a partition or even to erasing the
- entire hard disk. For that reason, you'll see the screen above on top of
- the tool screen. Click on <emphasis>Exit</emphasis> if you're not sure you
- want to continue.</para>
- </warning>
-
- <para>If you have more than one hard disk, you can switch to the hard disk
- you want to work on by selecting the correct tab (sda, sdb, sdc etc).</para>

-
- <para>You can choose from many actions to adjust your hard disk to your
- preferences. Wiping an entire hard disk, splitting or merging partitions,
- resizing them or changing the filesystem, formatting or viewing what is in a
- partition: it is all possible. The <emphasis><guibutton>Clear
- all</guibutton></emphasis> button at the bottom is to erase the complete
- disk, the other buttons become visible on the right after you click on a partition.</para>
-
- <para>If the partition you select is mounted, like in the example below, you
- cannot choose to resize, format or delete it. To be able to do that the
- partition must be unmounted first.</para>
-
- <para>It is only possible to resize a partition on its right side</para>
-
- <para>To change a partition type (change ext3 to ext4 for example) you have
- to delete the partition and then re-create it with the new type. The button
- <guibutton role="bold">Create</guibutton> appears when a disk empty part is
- selected</para>
-
- <para>You can choose a mount point that doesn't exist, it will be
- created.</para>
