<li>In the terminal as root, issue the command: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">fdisk /dev/sdavda</span></code></b><br><br>Remember that we are using a Virtual Machine, so the hard disk appears as '''/dev/vda''' instead of /dev/sda.<br><br></li>
<li>At the fdisk prompt issue the command: '''p'''. What does this do?</li>
<li>Now issue the commands n (new partition), p (primary partition), 3 (i.e. next available partition number). When prompted for initial block, press enter to accept the default, and type +2G at ending block (create 2GB for partition). </li>
