Create Partition
To Create Partition

- There are three ways to create partition:
  - The quickest way: select the segment of unallocated space and then directly press Enter key -> directly enters a proper value as the new partition size -> press Enter. You can also rapidly repeat clicking Enter key to create several partitions quickly and commit the changes by pressing Ctrl + Enter.
  - Select the segment of unallocated space which you would like to create a partition on by clicking the Unallocated Space in the main window. The Create Partition button will become available on the sidebar and in the context menu of the right click.
  - If there's no unallocated space you could also create partition. Select the partition which has a lot of free space and then right click the partition -> Create Partition or in the left panel select Create Partition, the software will take some free space from the selected partition to create a new partition.
- In the Create Partition dialog, enter a proper value as new partition size, assign a drive letter and select a file system to the will create partition. Meanwhile, you could also drag and move the graphical Partition Bar to change the partition size or location on the disk.
- For advanced settings. In the Create Partition dialog, by clicking the Advanced button at the left bottom, you could specify partition label, partition type (Primary/Logical) and adjust the partition location by setting unallocated space before/after. What more advantage is that if you are using Solid State Drive (SSD), selecting "SSD partition alignment" is quite necessary. Because this feature could improve the performance of SSD.
- By clicking OK, you'll add the pending operation of new partition creation, and the new partition structure will be graphically represented in the Partition Assistant main window.

Note

- As a rule, Primary is selected if a partition is to install an operating system. If a partition is meant for data storage, Logical should be selected. You could also use PA to change the partition flag between primary and logical.
- To select a file system, we recommend you select NTFS to format when your partition is created on a fixed disk device, because FAT32 supported the max file is 4GB, so a greater than 4GB file need to be divided multiple small files to store on FAT32.
- Could support to create EXT format partitions under Windows, but Windows is not unable to recognize EXT format partitions.
