This next step is often referred to as \gls{partitioning}. Partitioning is the process of allocating portions of your hard drive for a specific purpose. When you create a \gls{partition}, you are essentially dividing up your hard drive into sections that will be used for different types of information. Partitioning can sometimes seem complex to a new user; however, it does not have to be. In fact, Ubuntu provides you with some options that greatly simplify this process.

\marginnote{Many people installing Ubuntu for the first time currently use another operating system on their computer, such as Windows \acronym{XP}, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Mac \acronym{OS X}. Ubuntu provides you with the option of either \emph{replacing} your existing operating system altogether, or installing Ubuntu alongside your existing system. The latter is called \emph{dual-booting}. Whenever you turn on or restart your computer, you will be given the option to select which operating system you want to use for that session.} Use this option if you want to erase your entire disk. This will delete any existing operating systems that are installed on that disk, such as Windows \acronym{XP}, and install Ubuntu in its place. This option is also useful if you have an empty hard drive, as Ubuntu will automatically create the necessary partitions for you.

If you already have another operating system installed on your hard drive, and want to install Ubuntu alongside it, choose the \radiobutton{Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup} option.

Ubuntu will automatically detect the other operating system and install Ubuntu alongside it. For more complicated \gls{dual-booting} setups, you will need to configure the partitions manually.
