- 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.
