change the filesystem or size of a partition and even view their details
before you start.There is a tab at the top for every detected hard disk (or other storage
device, like a USB key). In the screenshot above there are two available
devices: sda and sdb.For all other actions: click on the desired partition first. Then view it,
or choose a filesystem and a mount point, resize it or wipe
it. Expert mode provides more options such as to label
(name) a partition, or to choose a partition type.Continue until you have adjusted everything to your satisfaction, then click
Done when you're ready.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.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.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.
