Add a new disk to your virtual machine as explained in the instructions.
Upload a screenshot of the storage configuration of the VM shown in the VirtualBox settings.
IMPORTANT: after creating the new disk, snapshot your VM as it is easy to mess it up badly in the next parts!
MBR
After booting from the GParted CD ISO image:
- Create an MBR (MS Dos) partition table on the new virtual disk (replacing any previous partition table).
- Partition the disk using 2 primary partitions and an extended partition.
- In the extended partition, create three logical partitions. Any size or format is ok for the partitions.
- Paste in below (where X is replaced by the letter identifying your new disk):
- the output from
fdisk -l /dev/sdX - the output from
parted /dev/sdX print - UPLOAD A SCREENSHOT IF YOU CAN'T COPY&PASTE FROM THE GPARTED TERMINAL.
- the output from
- Upload a screenshot of the partitioning as seen in GParted.
You can attach screenshots for item 3 above if you have problems with copy&paste from VirtualBox.
You do not need to format or specify a mount point for the partitions at this stage.
GPT
After booting from the GParted CD ISO image:
- Create a GPT partition table on the new virtual disk (replacing any previous partition table).
- Partition the disk with partitions of 100MB, 2GB, 3GB, and all remaining space. This is similar to a Windows default partitioning of a new disk.
- Paste in below (where X is replaced by the letter identifying your new disk):
- the output from "gdisk -l /dev/sdX"
- the output from "parted /dev/sdX print" UPLOAD A SCREENSHOT IF YOU CAN'T COPY&PASTE FROM THE GPARTED TERMINAL.
- Upload a screenshot of the partitioning as seen in GParted.
You can attach screenshots for item 3 above if you have problems with copy&paste from VirtualBox.
You do not need to format or specify a mount point for the partitions at this stage.
