I have not yet installed ubuntu. Maybe it is going wrong as when it gets to the 'Prepare disk space' page it says "This computer has no operating systems on it" while showing a disk graph for /dev/sdb1 (which is my terabyte disk).
The default option is set at "Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup" which is what I want. But not on sdb1. If I choose 'specify partitions manually (advanced)' then the wanted disk is /dev/sdc1. The boot loader needs to be on /dev/sda1. But this installer does not seem to have options for picking what should go where? I did try googling for help before asking here. I was hoping someone may have some insight into why it is going wrong on my pc? -Bryce. > -----Original Message----- > From: jim.cheet...@gmail.com [mailto:jim.cheet...@gmail.com] > On Behalf Of Jim Cheetham > Sent: Friday, 19 June 2009 2:37 p.m. > To: linux-users@it.canterbury.ac.nz > Subject: Re: Ubuntu 9.04 install - direct it to empty hard drive? > > There is a lot documentation for Ubuntu ... for example this > page may help ... > > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How_to_dual-boot_Ubuntu_and_ > XP_after_installing_them_separately_on_two_HDs > > -jim > DISCLAIMER: If you have received this email in error, please notify us immediately by reply email, facsimile or collect telephone call to +64 3 9641200 and destroy the original.
