+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Partitioning + + + 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 + Mageia. + + The options available from + the list below will vary depending on your particular hard drive(s) layout + and content. + + + + + + + + + + Use Existing + Partitions + + If this option is + available, then existing Linux compatible partitions have been found + and may be used for the installation. + + + + Use Free Space + + If you have unused + space on your hard drive then this option will use it for your new + Mageia installation. + + + + Use Free Space on a + Windows Partition + + If you have unused + space on an existing Windows partition, the installer may offer to use + it. + + This can be a useful + way of making room for your new Mageia installation, but is a risky + operation so you should make sure you have backed up all important + files! + + Note that this + involves shrinking the size of the Windows partition. The partition + must be "clean", meaning that Windows must have closed down correctly + the last time it was used. It must also have been defragmented, + although this is not a guarantee that all files in the partition have + been moved out of the area that is about to be used. It is highly + recommended to back up your personal files. + + + + Erase and use Entire + Disk. + + This option will use + the complete drive for Mageia. + + Note! This will + erase ALL data on the selected hard drive. Take care! + + 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. + + + + Custom + + This gives you + complete control over the placing of the installation on your hard + drive(s). + + + + + 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: + + "Align to" "MiB" + + "Free space preceding (MiB)" "2" + + Also make sure all partitions are create with an even number of + megabytes. + +
