Partitioning and Formatting with the Installation

Media

When you boot up Windows installation media and the installation program

detects a hard drive that is not yet partitioned, it prompts you through a

sequence of steps to partition and format the hard drive. Chapter 11,

“Building a PC,” covers the entire installation process, but we’ll jump ahead

and dive into the partitioning part of the installation here to see how this is

done.

The process of partitioning and formatting when installing Windows is

straightforward. You’ll go through a couple of installation screens (see Figure

product key and acceptance of the license agreement. Eventually you’ll get to

the Where do you want to install Windows? dialog box (see Figure 9-28).
