How to create a partition or volume

China, People's Republic of (Press Release) August 3, 2007 -- Create a partition or volume
1. On the desktop, click Partition Work.

2. In the Partitions list, select a free-space entry, and then click Create under Actions.

3. In the Create dialog box under Partition Information, type the Name of the partition that you want to create.

4. Select the appropriate File System from the drop-down list. If the desired file system does not appear in the list, type it in decimal (or hex by starting with 0x [zero x] or octal starting with a zero.)

5. Increase or decrease the Size of the new partition (in MB) using the keyboard or up or down arrows respectively.

6. Optional:
Under Options, select the Format check box if you want the option of formatting the partition after you create it.

If you want the option of having multiple operating systems boot from the new partition, select the Multi-OS check box. This does not mean that you are going to have multiple operating systems on the system itself.

To create the partition at the end of the free-space block rather than at the beginning of the block, select the Allocate High check box.


7. Press OK.
