If you want
to use less than the maximum space available on the disk for this volume,
change the value in the Simple Volume Size In MB text box. This text box
shows the full amount of space available by default, so if you want to create
a single volume using all that space, you needn??™t make any change. This is
often the easiest option.
Click the Next button to display the Assign Drive Letter Or Path screen. With
the Assign The Following Drive Letter option button selected, choose the
letter in the drop-down list that you want to assign to the drive. The wizard
suggests the next available letter.

If you prefer, you can mount the drive in an empty folder instead of assigning it a letter. This
means that, for example, you can make the drive appear as a folder within your user folder,
which can be handy if you??™re using the drive to store your documents or media files. To do this,
select the Mount In The Following Empty NTFS Folder option button, click the Browse button,
and use the resulting Browse For Drive Path dialog box to select the folder. As the option says,
the folder must be empty, and it must be on a drive formatted with the NTFS file system (which
both Windows Vista and Windows XP use as the default file system for hard disks).
Click the Next button to display the Format Partition screen:
Make sure the Format This Volume With The Following Settings option
button is selected, so that the File System drop-down list shows NTFS, and
that the Allocation Unit Size drop-down list shows Default.
