If it is empty or if an existing operating system uses all the space available on it, you need to partition it. Basically, partitioning a hard drive consists of logically dividing it to create space to install your new Linux-Mandrake system.

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.
