In this screen you can see the content of your hard drive(s) along with the DrakX partitioning proposals for where to install Mageia.
The actual options available from those shown below will vary according to the layout and content of your particular hard drive(s).

If this option is available, then existing Linux compatible partitions have been found and may be used for the installation.
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 see the warning below.
With this option, the installer displays the remaining Windows partition in light blue and the proposed Mageia partition in dark blue with their intended sizes just underneath. You have the option to modify these sizes by clicking and dragging the gap between both partitions. See the following screenshot:

This involves shrinking the size of the Windows partition, and therefore is a risky operation, so you should make sure you have backed up all important files before proceeding. |
S tem imate popoln nadzor nad namestitvijo na (enem ali več) vaših diskov.
If you are not using the Custom disk partitioning option, then the installer will allocate the available space according to the following rules:
Če je vsega razpoložljivega prostora na voljo manj kot 50 GB, bo ustvarjen samo en razdelek in sicer korenski: 1/1(root). Brez ločenega domačega razdelka: /home.
Če je vsega razpoložljivega prostora na voljo več kot 50 GB, bodo ustvarjeni trije razdelki
6/19 prostora na voljo bo namenjeno korenskemu: /, a ne
več kot 50 GB
1/19 bo rezervirana izmenjalnemu razdelku: swap, a
največ 4 GB
ostalih (vsaj 12/19) bo uporabljenih za domači razdelek:
/home
To pomeni, da bo namestitev pri 160 GB ali več razpoložljivega prostora ustvarila tri razdelke:
50 GB za korenskega
4 GB za izmenjalnega
in preostalo za domačo mapo: /home

If you are using a UEFI system, the ESP (EFI System Partition) will be
automatically detected - or created if it does not exist yet - and mounted
on If you are using a Legacy (also known as BIOS) system with a GPT partitioned disk, you need to create a BIOS boot partition if it doesn't already exist. It should be about 1 MiB with no mount point. It can be created with the Installer, under Custom disk partitioning, like any other partition. Be sure to select “BIOS boot partition” for filesystem type. See DiskDrake for information on how to proceed. |

Some newer drives are now using 4096 byte logical sectors, instead of the previous standard of 512. Due to lack of available hardware, the partitioning tool used in the installer has not been tested with such a drive. Some SSD devices now use an erase block size over 1 MB. If you have such a device we suggest that you partition the drive in advance, using an alternative partitioning tool like gparted, and to use the following settings:
Also make sure all partitions are created using an even number of megabytes. |
