You should now have three partitions. You must convert one of these partitions to a SWAP partition. To
do this, use the <t> command.

Press <CTRL><ALT><F7> to return to the installation window. Proceed to load RedHat. Stop when it
gives you the option to partition your drive manually or automatically. The window will prompt you with
the following options:
• Remove data
• Manually Partition
Select to manually partition your drive. Click Next and the Disk Druid window will appear showing all the
partitions in your array. If you created a RAID 1 array spanning across two drives with three partitions, you
will see a total of six partitions even though you only created three (using FDISK). The reason for this is
because a RAID 1 array exists when you mirror the information on one drive to another. Since you have
created a partition in a RAID 1 array, what you actually did is create a partition on each of the drives.
