Figure 2.2: YaST2: Preparing the Hard Disk
Step 2
One of the following situations could occur:
If the hard disk is not empty, YaST2 shows all existing partitions on the hard
disk as well as ‘Use entire hard disk’. Free, unpartitioned storage space at the
“end” of the hard disk is also displayed and is automatically preselected.
YaST2 can use further space for SuSE Linux, but only if it is contiguous —
partitions can only be released for further use “from behind”. For example,
if three partitions exist, partitions 1 and 2 remain and you must select
partition 3. To make the entire hard disk available for SuSE Linux, select
‘Entire Hard Disk’.
For an empty hard disk, the entire hard disk is used for SuSE Linux.
If you have other requirements, press ‘Back’ to return to the previous dialog,
as mentioned on the preceding page, for manual partitioning with the help of
‘Extended Settings’.
Note
Because the partitions made available for SuSE Linux will be formatted, all
existing data there will be irretrievably lost.
