+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 begining, please consult the manual

+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

+
+If partitions haven't been already defined, you need to create them. To do that,

+ * Use existing partition: the wizard has detected one or more existing Linux partitions on your hard drive. If

+ * Erase entire disk: if you want delete all data and

+ 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
