• Partition of this drive can be in a 60% or 40% setting:

60% for Drive C

How to divide total space?

60% is 0.60

40% is 0.40

• Multiply your total/unallocated space by 0.60 or 0.40

For example:

Unallocated Space is 25 GB,

25 * 0.60 = 15 GB

• Therefore, your Drive C will have 15 GB, and the remaining (10 GB) will be your Drive D.

For example:

15 GB is 15,000 MB

(1 GB = 1000 MB)
