Is there a way to specify the size of any given partition? I know you currently have two options when formatting/preparing a drive, F: gets everything and F: get 127GB and G: get the rest. I know that the current file system only allows any single be up to approximately 256GB’s. So when uses have a large HDD, say a 400GB, then you have a 137GB F: drive and somewhere around a 250GB G: drive. Well if HDD’s get any larger then again we will hit a brick wall. So the easy fix would be actually being able to specify the size of each partition, or as and easier fix, or a nice additional option, speaking for the easy of initial setup, would be adding a HDD prep option that would format C: D: as normal and the spilt the difference of the remainder of the HDD space evenly between F: & G: If this already an option the maybe a Moderator could move this post to the feature support section and someone could help me with a way this can already be done. Now I know there is some sort of a tool that has been released that allow you to change partition size once they have been created (but I honestly haven’t even tried it yet), but that does little good if you can’t partition the space to begin with. So any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.

Hey pytec I've already asked about this in the past, and now that the new 2914 bios is out and the problem of not reading custom partition tables is fixed it seems it should be fairly simple for Team Xecuter to implement. So I opened a new topic requesting just a config menu for creating custom partition tables and formatting those custom partitions just like XBPartitioner and even adding some install scripts for control over the partition sizes and such. You may want to post any further ideas in it or just watch it and support it.
