    There is no such thing as easy or hard.

    Give it a try, fuck it up, and give it a try again. Try not to fuck it up in the same way as the first time. Repeat until it works - it will work eventually.

    It took me about 6 hours and 3 disk re-formats my first time. I was particularly bad at it. I barely knew what a disk was, nevermind a partition.

    Actually I’m still not sure what a partition is.

    You’ll do fine :)

      Yep, completely agree. We only (really) learn when we make mistakes.

      I usually aim to do my “first” (of whatever) as best I can, but totally prepared to wipe & restart…
