## Creating Partitions during Recovery

This topic describes how to create partitions.

There are two ways to create partitions: using Windows and creating during recovery. To create partitions during recovery, follow these steps:

1. Press the ASSIST button while your VAIO computer is off.
   The VAIO Care (Rescue Mode) screen appears.
2. Select Start VAIO recovery solutions.
   Follow the on-screen instructions until the VAIO Care Rescue screen appears.
3. Click Tools and Start advanced recovery wizard.
   Follow the on-screen instructions until a screen to select recovery type appears.
4. Click Custom recovery - Resize C: and create D: drive.
5. Enter the C: drive size and click Next.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

#### Note

- If you create partitions during recovery, all data on your built-in storage device will be erased.

- If you reduce the partition size of the C: drive, Recovery Media creation may fail due to disk space shortage.

#### Hint

- If the display language selection window appears, select your desired language and click OK.
