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.
Note
[This text does not apply to iSeries system users.]
If you have a RAID card, be aware that some BIOSes do not support booting from the
RAID card. In cases such as these, the
/boot/
partition must be created on a partition
outside of the RAID array, such as on a separate hard drive. An internal hard drive is
necessary to use for partition creation with problematic RAID cards.
A
/boot/
partition is also necessary for software RAID setups.
