http://ubuntuforums.org – I am having some trouble install Ubantu on an empty partition on a multi boot system. Here is a my drive layout from win7's view point. See pic 1 I want to install Ubantu in the empty section at the end of Disk1. But the Ubantu installer does not see any of the partitions on Disk 1, see here. It is /dev/sdg (sorry about the big picture size) See pic 2 I can not add to /sdg, or change it. I can put a new partition table, or format it. But that would wipe out the other OS's installed there. If I just click INSTALL I get a warning about "No root file system" "Please correct thi (Hardware)

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

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.

I used GPARTED to view the partition information and it shows the mount point as / , which you can also see from the Boot Info Script below.

[ubuntu] OSX install 16 weeks 3 days ago

I followed the instructions from help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation to make a partition of my harddrive to install Ubuntu on Mac running latest everything. I do the partition sync from refit, start from the Ubuntu boot disk, open the install drive. Select country.

I'm trying to install F17 on a new HP box with UEFI. My disk layout is /boot/efi 256M EFI System Partition 2M BIOS Boot / 32G EXT4 /sl6 32G EXT4 /home 183G EXT4

On my first install the installer didn't demand a BIOS boot partition, after install it booted to a blank GRUB command line. On the next install it demanded a BIOS Boot partition.
