If need be, you will be prompted to add the necessary number of disks to your selection, according to

the chosen type of the future volume.

If you click the Back button, you will be returned to the previous page: Select the type of volume

being created (p. 293).

If you click the Next button, you will proceed to the next page: Set the volume size (p. 294).

Set the volume size

On the third wizard page, you will be able to define the size of the future volume, according to the

previously made selections. In order to choose the necessary size between the minimum and the

maximum values, use the slider or enter the necessary values into the special windows between the

minimum and the maximum values or click on the special handle, and hold and drag the borders of

the disk's picture with the cursor.

The maximum value normally includes the most possible unallocated space. But in some cases the

possible unallocated space and the proposed maximum volume size might differ (e.g. when the size

of one mirror establishes the size of the other mirror, or the last 8Mb of the disk space is reserved for

the future conversion of the disk from basic to dynamic).

For basic volumes if some unallocated space is left on the disk, you also will be able to choose the

position of the new volume on the disk.

If you click the Back button, you will be returned to the previous page: Select destination disks (p.

293).

If you click the Next button, you will proceed to the next page: Set the volume options (p. 294).

Set the volume options

On the next wizard page you can assign the volume Letter (by default - the first free letter of the

alphabet) and, optionally, a Label (by default – none). Here you will also specify the File system and

the Cluster size.

The wizard will prompt you to choose one of the Windows file systems: FAT16 (disabled, if the

volume size has been set at more than 2 GB), FAT32 (disabled, if the volume size has been set at more

than 2 TB), NTFS or to leave the volume Unformatted.

In setting the cluster size you can choose between any number in the preset amount for each file

system. Note, the program suggests the cluster size best suited to the volume with the chosen file

system.

If you are creating a basic volume, which can be made into a system volume, this page will be

different, giving you the opportunity to select the volume Type — Primary (Active Primary) or

Logical.

Typically Primary is selected to install an operating system to a volume. Select the Active (default)

value if you want to install an operating system on this volume to boot at machine startup. If the

Primary button is not selected, the Active option will be inactive. If the volume is intended for data

storage, select Logical.
