Create Default Layout

Create default layout allows you to have some control concerning what data is
removed (if any) from your system. Your options are: Remove all partitions on selected drives and create default layout Select this option to remove all partitions on your hard drive(s) (this
includes partitions created by other operating systems such as Windows
VFAT or NTFS partitions).

Caution

If you select this option, all data on the selected hard drive(s) is removed by the
installation program. Do not select this option if you have information that you want to
keep on the hard drive(s) where you are installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

  • Remove Linux partitions on selected drives and create default layout
  • select this option to remove only Linux partitions (partitions created from
a previous Linux installation). This does not remove other partitions you
may have on your hard drive(s) (such as VFAT or FAT32 partitions).
  • Use free space on selected drives and create default layout
  • Select this option to retain your current data and partitions, assuming you
  • have enough free space available on your hard drive(s).
Using your mouse, choose the storage drive(s) on which you want Red Hat
Enterprise Linux to be installed. If you have two or more drives, you can choose
which drive(s) should contain this installation. Unselected drives, and any data
on them, are not touched.

Caution

It is always a good idea to back up any data that you have on your systems. For
example, if you are upgrading or creating a dual-boot system, you should back up any
data you wish to keep on your drive(s). Mistakes do happen and can result in the loss of
all your data.

Tip

If you have a RAID card, be aware that some BIOSes do not support booting from the
RAID card. In cases such as these, the /boot/ partition must be created on a partition
outside of the RAID array, such as on a separate hard drive. An internal hard drive is
necessary to use for partition creation with problematic RAID cards.

A /boot/ partition is also necessary for software RAID setups.

If you have chosen to automatically partition your system, you should select
Review and manually edit your /boot/ partition. To review and make any
necessary changes to the partitions created by automatic partitioning, select the
Review option. After selecting Review and clicking Next to move forward, the
partitions created for you in Disk Druid appear. You can make modifications to
these partitions if they do not meet your needs. Click Next once you have made
your selections to proceed.
