Here's my case. I have 500GB HDD with 5 Partitions with XP, Windows7 and Windows8 RP in the first three.

As per one of the instruction I've seen in this forum, I did shrink my 4th Partition to create a 30GB unallocated free space to install Ubuntu 12.04.

Hi,

I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Dell Inspirion machine but the issue is I can't go for the logical or extended partition as I am having the following partitions on my machine:

EFI System Partition (500MB) OEM Partition (400MB) Recovery Partition (500MB) Recovery Partition (7.87GB) Windows8 Partition (105GB) Other 1 (255GB) Other 2 (100GB)

Please suggest how to install ubuntu

When I buy laptop recently,it already install win7.

I remove D to install ubuntu 12.04 64 bits.

At first I only set partitions like this,and I don't change any other partitions related with win7:

swap 16GB / 150GB

But I got this message:

The partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a separate partition for boot loader code.

Hi, I'm having some problems installing 12.04 desktop on my asus k53sv laptop.

I have a 500gb disk which has a 150gb partition containing windows 7, which I've been using for some time.

Have one hard drive that had 2 partitions.

1) small partition with ubuntu installed

2) larger partition with lots of data in it.

Reinstalled Ubuntu 12.10. The installer asked me if I wanted to install over the existing install. You know, that small partition with ubuntu on it? I said OK.

It wiped out both partitions destroying all my data.

This is a serious bug, very serious.

I have a Laptop with 1TB hard disk space. I can allocate 100GB for Ubuntu. Currently there is only Windows 7 installed.

Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop already running windows, but I just realized that a hard drive can only have 4 primary partitions (noob errors). I have a 500gb hard drive. The four partitions are the following: 1 Windows partition (450gb) with 300gb unused, a System partition from windows thats about 200mb, a 13gb partition labeled RECOVERY, and a 100mb partition labeled HP_TOOLS.

Recently my laptop Win7 was crashed and I trying to backup the data before trying any recovery.

I have a computer that is partitioned between Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. Long story short, I wanted to make a fresh install of 12.10, so I copied all of my personal data from 12.04 over to my Win7 partition, the deleted the partition that had 12.04 on it:

What I want to do now is install Ubuntu 12.10 on all of the empty disk space.
