Creating The Partitions - Gigabyte GA-8I955X Royal User Manual

Instead of "Basic," a disk may also report as either "Unknown" or "Dynamic." If the disk reports as "Unknown" right-click on the
disk icon and click "Write Signature." A window will appear with the disk in question (all "Unknown" disks may appear in this
window). Make sure the box next to each disk is checked, and then click OK. The disk should now report as "Basic."
If a disk reports as "Dynamic," right-click on the icon of that disk, and click on "Revert to Basic Disk..." Within seconds the disk
should report as Basic.

7.1.1 Creating the Partitions

In the Report of physical connection of disks/RAID Groups section, the order in which the drives are displayed corresponds
directly to the order the Sets appear in the BIOS. Therefore, the first Unallocated Partition represents Set 1, and so on.
1. In this example, there are two disks with unallocated partitions. Right-click on the partition of the first disk and click on
"Create Partition..."
2. The "Create Partition Wizard" should appear. The first window is an introductory window to the Wizard. Click Next.
3. The second window designates the partition type. Choose primary partition and click Next.
