backed up all important files!
</p>
<p>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

partition must be "clean", meaning that Windows must have closed down
correctly the last time it was used. It must also have been defragmented,
although this is not a guarantee that all files in the partition have been
moved out of the area that is about to be used. It is highly recommended to
back up your personal files.

the following rules:

<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul class="itemizedlist">
<li class="listitem">
<p>If the total available space is less than 50 GB, then only one partition is
created. This will be the <code class="filename">/</code> (root) partition.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>If the total available space is greater than 50 GB, then three partitions
are created
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">

create three partitions:

been correctly done.
</p>
<p>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 <span class="emphasis"><em>Custom disk partitioning</em></span>, like any
other partition. Be sure to select <span class="quote">„<span class="quote">BIOS boot partition</span>“</span> for

<p>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.
</p>
<p>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:
