Hi,
Yes, you have to create at least one partition and format it for
installation. What size? That's up to you. You can use all the drive and
have one big C: if you like, or you can separate it into multiple smaller
volumes. I use the former for many client setups, as they don't want to have
to navigate to various drives for saving and installation and prefer to just
accept default placement. Personally, I use multiple volumes so that stored
information is not affected by formatting and (re)installing different OS's,
and can also be shared by such.
