Thank you for helping me. Sorry for no respons during the last days (short vaccation). After pressing "e" 1.st time then I face:

I would be glad if you could go on and give me some further tips about what to do, how to go on. After sending the fist comment I've found out that /sda1 is not uncommon. In a norwegian book about Ubunut I could read; ..."If you have got an IDE controller then the first partition will be named /dev/hda1. SCSI-disc will be given name like /dev/sdX, where X specify which SCSI-controller it's under and which SCSI-ID it has". When I made the partition I noted down that C (windows) got the name /sda1 and the extended partition got the name /sda2. Then I didn't wrote down the other name, but I made two sda3 p's; respectively 10 and 30 GB. Both of them should be more than big enough. Mounted / and the other /home. In between a swap, 1gb. It sholdn't case any problem that I made a 80 gb FAT32 also inside the extended? The disc is 250 gb, C and D at the first part (together 60 gb), and then the extended with the ubuntu-partitions at the first part, and the fat32 at the end of the extended (with some free space in between). I also made 1 gb free space between C and D so that I had the opportunity to use this for the ubuntu root / IN THE CASE it is not possible to boot from an extended partition. But it seems like it is, isn't that correct? Finally, here are the spesific. of the PC I got 10 days ago. The only thing I did before installing Ubuntu was the installation of WinXPprof., as mentioned before.

Or are there any ohter things I should check out before doing that? -- Wrong boot disk parameter? https://launchpad.net/bugs/72593 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
