Custom Disk Partitioning with DiskDrake

[Warning]
  1. Take care with the Clear all option, use it only if you are sure you want to wipe all partitions on the selected storage device.

  2. 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.

[Important]
  • If you are installing Mageia on a UEFI system, check that an ESP (EFI System Partition) is present and correctly mounted on /boot/EFI. See Figure 1 below.

  • If you are installing Mageia on a Legacy/GPT system, check that a BIOS boot partition is present and of the correct type. See Figure 2 below.
