Make sure that none of the
operating systems detected are selected by clicking the white space under the
operating system names. Then click Next (Figure 10-1).

Figure 10-2. Click Command Prompt in the System Recovery Options dialog box.
7. Type list disk and press enter. This will display the list of detected disks on
your system, as shown in Figure 10-3. Take note of the disk number of the
disk you want to partition. On my test system, I had only one disk (Disk 0), as
shown in the figure.
8. Type select disk 0 and press enter. Your disk will also probably be Disk 0
as well, but if it isn??™t, simply replace 0 with the disk number you saw in the
previous step. You will receive confirmation that the disk has been selected.
9. Type clean and press enter. This will erase the existing partition table.
CAUTION Before doing this, make sure that you do not need any of the data stored on that disk
and double-check to be sure you have selected the correct disk (if you have more than one disk). This
command will not warn you that the operation you are about to perform is destructive.
10. Type create partition primary size=1500 and press enter.
