Hi Akshay,
I also faced similar issues when I tried installing a linux distro on my IBM
T41P.
Before you install Ubuntu, you need to repartition your hard disk. I was able
to do so using Qtparted from Knoppix Live distro.
I have documented my experience here.

Hope it helps.

Subject: [ubuntu-in] Unable to install Ubuntu on my laptop : Failing at disk
partition resizing
Hi guys,
This is the saddest tragedy that cud happen to me! I have been given a Lappy in
office (Lenovo T60) but i m unable to install ubuntu (For that matter any
GNU/Linux) distro. (I tried Fedora, OpenSuSe, Debian, Ubuntu(all flavors
available :(( ) )
Everytime it fails in disk partitioning, I cant do away with W$ :(( {Thats what
i m supposed to work on for the current project i m into}
I am unable to resize the disk partition.
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
i got the following error messages :
1: OpenSuSE : Unable to resize the disk , format entire disk to install OpenSuSe
2: Ubuntu : Failed to resize disk, Unable to write partition info to disk
3: Fedora : Failed to resize
hd0
4: Debian : (Sorry i dont remember the error message.)
I even tried using Ulitmate Boot Cd to resize the partition and then install
Ubuntu. (That failed too)
i am unable to figure out what is the problem..
Laptop config:
1.83 GHz intel centrino duo proc,
60 GB SATA hdd,
1.5 GB ram,
Please help!
Thanks and regards,
Akshay
