Convert to GPT layout

Create a primary partition

You can convert unallocated spaces of the hard disk (basic disk) into a new primary partition. A primary partition func-

tions just like a separate disk: it can be used for installing an operating system.

Note: It’s possible to create up to four primary partitions on a basic disk, or three primary partitions and one

extended partition with any number of logical drives. A GPT layout allows a subdivision of up to 128 partitions.

To create a primary partition, right-click the unallocated space, or under Action/All actions in the menu bar and

then New partition.

Follow the questions in the dialogue and in the dialogue Selection of the partition type, click Primary partition.

3. In the next step you should specify properties such as drive letters and size of the partition.

4. You can then format the drive immediately (recommended) or at a later moment, the initialization will follow auto-

matically.

5. After confirming your entries, the new partition will be displayed graphically.
