In this example we use GParted to create a file system for dual boot two versions of Mint Linux on a 500GB harddrive.

After you boot from the Linux Mint installation media click the Linux Mint Menu -> Administration -> GParted

Select the correct drive, in this example unallocated space on /dev/sda (465.76 GiB)

You need only one partition table for the physical disk drive. Device -> Create Partition Table... -> gpt

We create a GPT (GUID Partition Table) rather than MS-DOS for this example.
