850MB, or 1.5GB.  By default, the boot or active partition is selected and
both the used and free space will be displayed.  Another partition or drive
may be selected by clicking the "Select Partition.." button.

After you select OK, an additional prompt is displayed to confirm the
request.  Upon selecting OK again, the resize and BeOS partition
creation process is started.  A progress dialog box is displayed that
shows the overall process and each individual steps' progress.

Upon completion, the computer will be rebooted and the BeOS installation
process continues.
