Automatic partitioning includes three options: delete all Linux partitions in the system, delete all partitions in the system, and save all partitions to use the existing free space. It seems that this option is not suitable for my needs. My hard disk has four partitions, and the first partition has Windows 98 installed. I want to keep it in dual-system mode. Then, click "previous" to return to the screen shown in Figure 11, and then select "manual partitioning with Disk Druid" again. Click "Next" to display as 13

All partitions of the hard disk are listed in the table. I plan to use the D and E disks of the original system.
