File System
Change the file system or format the partition here. File system changes or
partition reformats irreversibly delete all data from the partition. For details
of the various file systems, refer to

File System Options
Set various parameters for the selected file system here. The defaults are
acceptable for most situations.

If you activate the encryption, all data is written to the hard disk in encrypted

about the encryption of file systems is provided in
