Figure 4–4 Partition Pull-Down Menu

See Figure 4–5 Create Primary Partition Window

In the window, enter the size partition you want, then click on OK. (Depending upon the partition size you choose, a message window may appear asking you to confirm your selection.)

2.Continue to create new partitions until all disks have been partitioned.

3.Optional: Make disk logical names permanent.
