The Partition Setup tab
The Partition Setup tab provides access to the parameters of the hard disc configuration about its basic partition information.
These partitions are created during the installation process on the remote target device.
The table of the Partition Setup tab displays the following information on the defined partitions:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Order | This parameter specifies the order in which the partitions will be modified, if there is more than one partition, 1 indicating the first partition, and so on. |
Name | This column lists the names of the defined partitions. |
Size (GB) | This value displays the total size of the respective disk partition in GB. FAT-32 disks cannot be larger than 32 GB. The specified size is adjusted to the cylinder snap and can therefore be somewhat smaller or larger than the defined value. |
Format | This parameter indicates the format of the partition, possible values being NTFS , FAT-32 or Do Not Format , if the disk is not to be formatted but to use the current configuration, such as to keep another partition type for Linux or to keep partitions with existing data. |
Extend | This parameter is of interest if the defined disk partitions do not completely use up the available disk space. Possible values are Yes , extend partition, in this case the size fixed for the disk will be ignored and the remaining disk space will be added to the respective partition. If you select No , do not extend the partition, the remaining disk space cannot be used. Only one partition per disk can be extended. As FAT-32 disks cannot be larger than 32 GB, extending it over this limit will generate an error. |
