- In "Select Disk", you can reselect a disk to do the quick partition without going back to the home screen of AOMEI Partition Assistant.
- Under "Select Disk", please choose the partition count you want to create. You can select partition count by mouse clicks or pressing the button"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9" manually. After selecting the corresponding partition count, they will be shown at right side of the dialog box immediately. In addition, you can amend the partition parameters at the right side of the dialog box.
- In "Disk Type", please select MBR or GPT type for the disk. When you select MBR disk, you can rebuild MBR for the disk. When you select GPT disk, you can choose to build ESP/MSR partitions or not. For aligning partitions option, generally, the alignment is selected for solid state drive (SSD), namely 2048 sectors. But this option does not have many effects on hard disk drives, so you can just leave it.
- MBR disk: works with disks up to 2 TB in size. It will cause disk space wasted if you choose MBR for a disk with more than 2 TB of space.
- GPT disk: it is suggested to select GPT partition table for disks larger than 2 TB or computers that use UEFI boot mode.
- For those users who often use quick partition, you can check the option and directly enter into "Quick Partition" window next time when you need to run the program, after that it will directly enter into Quick Partition window when the program starts to run. In the meantime, click Preset button, so you can preset the partition count or size of the disk. It is quite convenient for those who want to partition multiple disks in the same way. Those workers who often partition hard drives and install Windows can save the desired partition count and size in the Preset, so they can directly use the saved settings next time to perform quick partition.
- When all settings are done, that is to say, after the quick partition the layout of the disk partition will be presented visually in the preview window. Then please click "Start Partitioning" button to realize one-key quick partition. If there are old partitions in the disk, a warning message box will be shown up to you (no message if no partitions on the disk). Click "Yes" to continue, or "No" to cancel.
Note: Enabling Preset, the last partition size will be set automatically. For example: if you preset to create 3 partitions, then you can specify the size of the first and second partition, the last partition automatically uses remaining disk space as its size.
