7. Partitioning

In this screen you can see + the content of your hard drive(s) and see the solutions the DrakX + partitioning wizard found for where to install + Mageia.

The options available from + the list below will vary depending on your particular hard drive(s) layout + and content.

  • Use Existing + Partitions

    If this option is + available, then existing Linux compatible partitions have been found + and may be used for the installation.

  • Use Free Space

    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 is a risky + operation so you should make sure you have backed up all important + files!

    Note that this + involves shrinking the size of the Windows partition. The 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.

  • Erase and use Entire + Disk.

    This option will use + the complete drive for Mageia.

    Note! This will + erase ALL data on the selected hard drive. Take care!

    If you intend to use + part of the disk for something else, or you already have data on the + drive that you are not prepared to lose, then do not use this + option.

  • Custom

    This gives you + complete control over the placing of the installation on your hard + drive(s).
