How to partition your disk with the parted magic linux liveCD
Disclaimer: If you do not understand the concept of partitioning or do not know what you are doing
then please stay away from any partitioning tool. Any important data you might have on disk might
be lost!! Please consult someone who has more than basic understanding of partitions and operating
systems. Yes, this tutorial informs you of what partitions are, and in theory you should be able to
use it wisely. However, I am not (!) looking over your shoulder!!! So I cannot prevent or correct any
errors that you might make. If you wish to learn about partitioning do not (!) try it out on your state
of the art machine; I cannot overemphasize this . And if you do use your machine, please remove all
hard drives from it first and store them in a safe place. Then go out and buy a cheap hard drive and
place it in your machine. Then get familiar with partitioning and installing operating systems (e.g.
linux, e.g. freebsd). Know how they work. Experiment. Make sure that you know what partitions
carry your operating system. Also learn how to fuck things up. And do not do anything on your
original hard drive unless you have gained a very thorough understanding of partitions and
operating systems in general. You have been warned!!!
