5.10.2 Creating Partitions
Once the card is formatted, new partitions can be created in it. The default is to create one
partition that occupies the whole card, but a card can be divided into more than one partition
if desired. Each partition appears as a separate folder in Windows Explorer.
To create new partitions:
1. Press the New button next to the Partitions listbox. The New Partition dialog appears:
Figure 5.67 New Partition Dialog
2. Enter a name for the partition.
3. If more than one partition is desired, uncheck the Use All Available Diskspace
checkbox, then specify the desired number of sectors to be used by the partition:
4. Press OK. The new partition appears in the Partitions list:
Figure 5.68 Partitions List
The new partition is automatically mounted. This is indicated by an asterisk (*) next to its
name in the partition list. Any unallocated space on the card is indicated at the left, and addi-
tional partitions can be created in it.
Note: The sector size of the card is given on the left-hand side of the Storage Proper-
ties dialog.
