The DrakX Partitioning Wizard asks where on the hard drive you would like to install Mandrake Linux.

The first option is "Use existing partition" -- this is for if Linux partitions already exist on a drive, such as from a previous Linux installation or as a result of using third-party partitioning software such as Partition Magic.

So if partitions have already been created, you can select "Use existing partition" to assign Linux mount points as seen on the next page.
