- Partition type. From the pull-down list select the desired file system type. In fact, the program displays only

those file systems that can correctly be placed to the selected partition, taking its capacity into account.

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

used for drive identification.

- Drive letter assignment. The pull-down list contains vacant drive letters that can be associated with the newly

• The amount of sectors per boot. This parameter is available exclusively for FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. Set

the number of sectors to be reserved for the boot area on the partition with this spinner control.
