If you chose to reuse some legacy GNU/Linux partitions, you may wish to reformat some of them and erase any data they contain. To do so, please select those partitions as well.
Please note that it's not necessary to reformat all pre-existing partitions. You must reformat the partitions containing the operating system (such as /, /usr or /var) but you don't have to reformat partitions containing data that you wish to keep (typically /home).
Please be careful when selecting partitions. After the formatting is completed, all data on the selected partitions will be deleted and you won't be able to recover it.
Click on when you're ready to format the partitions.
