Custom disk partitioning with + DiskDrake

Warning

If you wish to use encryption on + your / partition you must ensure that you have a + separate /boot partition. The encryption option for the + /boot partition must NOT be set, otherwise your system + will be unbootable.

Adjust the layout of your disk(s) + here. You can remove or create partitions, change the filesystem of a + partition or change its size and even view what is in them before you + start.

There is a tab for every detected + hard disk or other storage device, like an USB key. For example sda, sdb and + sdc if there are three of them.

Push Clear + all to wipe all partitions on the selected storage device

For all other actions: click on + the desired partition first. Then view it, or choose a filesystem and a + mount point, resize it or wipe it. Toggle to expert + mode (or Expert mode) gives some more + tools like to add a label or to choose a partition type.

Continue until you adjusted + everything to your wishes.

Click Done + when you're ready.

Note

If you are installing Mageia on an UEFI system, check that an ESP + (EFI System Partition) is present and correctly mounted on /boot/EFI (see + below)

Note

If you are installing Mageia on a Legacy/GPT system, check that a BIOS boot partition is present and of the correct type
