Chapter 4. Manual Partition
Operations
Unlike the «Automatic partition operations» mode (see 2.1) the «Manual parti-
tion operations» mode is intended for experienced users only, and offers much
wider operation lists. Manual operation parameters are entered in the dialog
boxes.
To execute a partition operation, you select
Operations
Æ

or click
(

).
4.1
Main Partition Operations
Main hard disk partition operations include the typical,
most frequently used
operations of partition creation (selecting a type, file system, formatting,
etc.), assigning label and letter partition, resizing, relocating, clearing, dele-
tion, etc.
4.1.1
Creating new partitions
If there is unallocated space on a disk, you can create a new partition using
manual disk operations.
Note that the Create partition wizard mentioned above can create partition using
both unallocated disk space and the space of existing partitions (see 3.1 «Creating A
New Partition»). The create partition operation will enable you to create a partition
on unallocated space only. If there is no such space, it should be provided by resiz-
ing and moving existing partitions.
