Preparing your hard drive / flash drive for Babbo-Daddo install with GParted

Either load GParted from the tazpanel installer or from Applications, System Tools

On the top right of GParted ensure that your hard drive is listed and selected.
(If you have multiple hard drives and or USB drives attached double check that the one that you want to install Babbo-Daddo on is the one that is shown)

There are several scenarios depending on wether your drive is blank, data wiped or has had a previous operating syyetem installed upon it.

Basically, i’d advise that you right click on any visible partitions shown in the bottom window of GParted and individually delete them.
Then, from the toolbar choose Device, Create Partition Table and click Apply

Now, right click on the grey bar that should be showing as unallocated along with the size of your hard drive.
Choose, New and then just click on +Add

You’ll need to apply the changes to the hard drive by clicking on Apply from the toolbar, this may take a minute or two depending on the size of the drive and speed of your device.

Finally, click on close when it’s finished and once again right click on the middle bar, which should now say /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1

Select Manage Flags and tick the “boot” option. Close the box and indeed GParted, you’re done!

Proceed with your installtion
