The partition selection screen presents a list of the possible partitions
which can be modified to allow the installation of the Boot Manager program.
Partitions are identified by their volume lable. In addition, the type of
partition (primary or extended) and the total size of the partition is also
given. Finally, the status of the partition (available or unavailable) for
the installation of the Boot Manager program is given.
Availability of a partition for installation of the Boot Manager program is
governed by the availability of sufficient free space (unused by files and
not marked as "bad" during formatting) at the end of the partition. The
exact amount of space needed is calculated by MKBMPART based on the user
selected installation strategy. If a partition that you think should be
available shows up as unavailable, check to see if it contains any hidden
files or bad clusters that may conflict with the installation of the Boot
Manager program.
Consult the Make Boot Manager Partition documentation for a more detailed
treatment of this subject.
