At the status bar the computer start examining the CD Plate, after the examination then it will bring before you a list of options asking either to

• Format the partition using the NTFS File System (Quick)
• Format the partition using the NTF File System

Then you need to select the second option if your computer did not select it automatically for you, select it by using the arrow button to scroll to it.

At the status you will be displayed with some options

ENTER = Continue, ESC = Cancel

Use the enter key by pressing it and then the system begins to format.

This will start from 0% to 100% and will do that for two times. Normally the first one is longer than the second one.

After that then your system will be restarted and then brings you back to the installation menu which you have to install like when you are installing software on your PC.
