The next dialog box presents a list of partitions to format (see Figure 29). All newly created partitions should be formatted. In addition, any already-existing partitions that contain old data you no longer need should be formatted. However, partitions such as /home or /usr/local must not be formatted if they contain data you wish to keep. Select each partition to format and press [Space]. If you wish to check for bad blocks while formatting each filesystem, select Check for bad blocks during format. Select OK, and press [Space].
