I have a new-to-me HP tower on which I want to install Ubuntu. The hard
drive has Windows Vista Business installed on it. I put a USB stick in
and booted from it. I clicked on the install choice, as opposed to the
try choice. After awhile (longer than what I'm used to) I get a window
that says, "Something else" and has an empty space with headers that say:
Device | Type | Mount point | Format? | Size | Used | System
Under the empty space are buttons:
[+][-][Change ...] [New Partition Table ...][Revert]
The buttons on the right are grayed out.
Next is a line that says:
Device for boot loader installation:
[/dev/sda ]
Under that, on the right side, are buttons:
[Quit] [Back] [Install Now]
When I click on Install Now I get a pop up error message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No root file system
No root file system is defined.
Please correct this from the partitioning menu.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After clicking on OK I clicked on [Change ...], but nothing appears to
happen.
The button at the top of the screen does allow me to restart, which I
have now done three times.
Is there something about the way Windows Vista is installed that I need
to somehow override?
