Select a partition from the list of Current Disk Partitions on the main Disk Druid window
(click it or use the arrow keys).
2. Click Delete.
3. When asked to confirm the deletion, click Delete.
4. If you made a mistake, click Reset to return to the partitioning as it was when you started
Disk Druid.
To add a partition in Disk Druid, follow these steps from the main Disk Druid window:
1. Select New. A window appears, enabling you to create a new partition.
2. Type the name of the Mount Point (the directory where this partition will connect to the
Linux file system). You need at least a root (/) partition and a swap partition.
3. Select the type of file system to be used on the partition. You can select from Linux native
(ext2 or preferably ext3), software RAID, Linux swap (swap), physical volume (LVM), or
Windows FAT (vfat).
To create a file system type different from those shown, leave the space you want to use
free for now. After installation is complete, use fdisk to create a partition of the type
you want.

this partition to grow to fill the rest of the hard disk, you can put any number in this field
(1 will do fine).
