Warning
It is always a good idea to back up any data that you have on your systems. For example, if
you are upgrading or creating a dual-boot system, you should back up any data you wish to
keep on your drive(s). Mistakes do happen and can result in the loss of all your data.
To review and make any necessary changes to the partitions created by automatic partitioning,
select the Review option. After selecting Review and clicking Next to move forward, the partitions
created for you in Disk Dru id appear. You can make modifications to these partitions if they do not
meet your needs.
Click Next once you have made your selections to proceed.
