→Formatting the Unallocated Disk Partition
To format the unallocated partition, right click on the partition and select ''Format To'' from the menu. A sub-menu will subsequently appear listing the various format options available. Select ''ext3'' from this menu. At this point the format task has not yet been performed. Instead it is listed as a ''pending operation'' and appears in a list at the bottom of the GParted window.
To perform the format operation, click on the ''Apply'' button located in the toolbar and then once again in the confirmation dialog.The progress of the formatting and file system creation operation will be displayed in the ''Applying Pending Operations'' dialog as shown in the following figure: [[Image:ubuntu_format_partition.jpg|Formatting a partition using GParted]]
