#If you have used your hard disk for previous Linux (Centos) distributions, you should remove them. Click on the distribution, and for each partition, select the partition and click the remove button (minus sign) and confirm deletion.
#<span style="background-color:yellow">Change the option '''New mount points will use the following partition scheme''' from '''LVM''' to '''<u>Standard Partition</u>''' (you will not be using LVM for your centos1 machine)</span>.
#Before you proceed with creating partitions, let's see the partitions that we need to create for our host computer:<ul><li>Primary Partitions (ext4):<ul><li>'''20GB''' for '''/''' (i.e. "root")</li><li>'''20GB10GB''' for /home</li><li>Swap Partition:<ul><li>'''16GB''' (Note: "swap" must be selected from the drop down menu)</li></ul></li></ul><br>'''NOTE:''' Remember that the sizes are recorded in MB (eg. 30 GB = 30000 MB) and you should multiply GB by a factor of 1024 to get the correct size.<br> (eg. '''20 GB x 1024 = 20480 MB''')<br><br>
#We will now create the root (/) partition. '''Click on the add button (plus) sign'''.<br>
#In the '''Add a New Mount Point''' screen, select '''/''' as the mount-point (either by typing or selecting from drop-down menu), and enter '''20480''' in for partition size and click '''Add Mount Point''' button.
# You will return to the previous dialog box.<br><span style="background-color:yellow">For the '''/''' partition, change the file-system type from '''xfs''' to '''ext4''' and make certain that the Device Type is set to Standard Partition (<u>not</u> LVM).

#Repeat the same steps above for the '''/home''' partition and '''/var/lib/libvirt/images''' partition.
#Recheck each of the created partitions, and make certain that the file-system type is set to ''ext4'' and the Device Type is set to ''Standard Partition''.
#Finally, add a swap partition (Mount Point: swap) for '''16 GB'''.
