Hi,
One of my friend is trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 in his machine. He has
windows there. And, he is a very new user of linux, i mean, this is his
first step.
Anyway, his hdd is 250 gigs. There are totally 8 partitions there, 7 are
totally NTFS & i think all of them are primary partitions.
Now, when he go for the ubuntu 8.04 installation, in the "hard disk
partition" sector, he cannot select "Manually partition", i mean, this
"Manually partition" is automatically *deselected. *When he goes for
partitioning, "*Fully automatic partition" comes with his whole 250 gigs
hdd. *
As far as i remembered, once i faced such type of problem & solved this with
debian dvd. There in debian only, i got the whole hard disk partition table,
from where i removed & created new ones. But, my friend dont have any debian
dvd now & he is really a novice user here in linux world.
Now, what should i suggest him?
