You may select to add a new partition by pressing Enter at the highlighted line at the top, or move the
highlighted line over the partition you wish to change. When adding a new partition you will be prompted
where to insert the partition within the table. Then, when either adding or changing a partition, a window
similar to the following will be displayed:

The above screen allows editing of partitions for MSDOS partition tables. Most systems only support these
partition table types. If you are using an Intel IA/64 system which uses GPT partition tables, the options will
differ slightly as follows:

You may change any of the options shown. The Size of the partition can be set by either entering the
number of sectors (512-bytes each) or by entering the number of megabytes. In either case, the other will
be adjusted accordingly. You normally will not need to change the Partition type or Partition flag, even if
creating a RAID or LVM device on the partition because the software will automatically do that for you. The
Boot flag is not used by the software, and need only be changed if the partition contains a non-Linux
operating system that requires it. If your backup contains raw partition data, the Option will show
Create/Restore. If you do not want to restore that data, change this to Create only.

When finished with your selections, press F3 or ESC to return to the

Change/View Partition Table

options.
