I prefer to use the GUI version, as you can see at a glance all you need to know about a drive's partitions. Plus you can make a screenshot of a disk's partitions, in case you loose a disk and have to replace it, and re-partition it, like I had to earlier this year. Just follow whats on the screenshot.
