- Partition type. From the pull-down list select a file system the newly created partition will be formatted

to, otherwise the partition will remain unformatted (so that it will not be ready to use).

- Volume label. Enter a label for the selected partition in this textual field. It is an irrelevant parameter

usually used for drive identification.

- Surface test level. Define the level of the surface check to make the program find bad and unstable

sectors and mark them unusable in the file system metadata.

DIALOG SETUP

Initially the program suggests some consistent values for all parameters. In most cases, you can just press the

Yes button to confirm the operation.

 Define whether the partition will be Primary, Extended or Logical. You can choose the desired partition

type from the pull-down list. As a matter of fact, the available alternatives fundamentally depend on

the selected block of free space - within the Logical free space, only Logical partitions can be created;

Within the Primary free space, both Primary partitions or the Extended Partition can be created.

 Partition Size. Define the size (in Mb) of the new partition.

 Free space before. Define the position (in Mb) of the new partition relative to the beginning of the block

of free space.

 Free space after. Define the amount of trailing free space (in Mb) at the end of the new partition.



Partition size and position may also be defined by using the drag-and-drop technique.

To do that, just carry out the required operation on the Disk Map. The virtual operations

are to be available.
