Remove Linux partitions on selected drives and create default layout

remove only Linux partitions (partitions created from a previous Linux installation). This does not
remove other partitions you may have on your storage drive(s) (such as z/VM or z/OS partitions).
•
Use free space on selected drives and create default layout
— select this option to retain
your current data and partitions, assuming you have enough free space available on your storage
drive(s).
Figure 17.12. Create Default Layout
Using your mouse, choose the storage drive(s) on which you want Red Hat Enterprise Linux to
be installed. If you have two or more drives, you can choose which drive(s) should contain this
installation. Unselected drives, and any data on them, are not touched.
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.

needs.
