FIGURE 16-3
Start a Mandriva One installation from an icon on the Mandriva One desktop.
12. The next screen begins the disk partitioning portion of the Mandriva installation. (General
guidance regarding the size and types of partitions you??™ll need is included in Chapter 7.)
Select one of the following approaches to configuring your hard disk:
Use Existing Partitions??”Use any available Linux partitions to install Mandriva.
Erase and Use Entire Disk??”Wipes the existing hard disk in preparation for your
install. This is a great option for critical server systems where you want to start with a
completely clean system or if there is no data on the disk you need.
Custom??”Here??™s where the real magic happens: You can create custom volumes,
resize existing volumes, and in general torture your hard drives as much as you like.
Selecting the Custom option opens a new window that shows all the existing hard drives
and configured partitions. If your system has only an existing Windows installation on an
NTFS partition, all that will be visible are the blue markers indicating a Windows partition.
