Partition editing tools are used to create/resize/delete partitions.

Before you can mount a newly created partition, you need to format it with a filesystem like FAT (msdos/Win95/98/ME), NTFS (WinNT/2000/XP), EXT2 (Linux), or Linux Swap (Linux).

For example, to format partition number 3 on your primary IDE master drive as a EXT2 partition, you would set the partition type to "linux" and then reboot into DSL and type:

sudo su
mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hda3


or for a swap partition:

sudo su
mkswap /dev/hda3
