http://ubuntuforums.org – Hey guys, I've actually worked with ubuntu for quite a while already, but now I wanted to format the whole harddrive, make a few partitions for /, /home, linux-swap and another one for an optional windows drive later on. And then freshly install ubuntu. To do that, I already made a Gparted live usb with tuxboot, booted with that usb and formatted/made those partitions with gparted. And now I want to install ubuntu, but I can't find out how to do that. I feel like I'm a big idiot right now, but I just can't see how to start the install ubuntu menu. I'm stuck in the gparted program and can't d (Hardware)

Sh here is what happen. I had 10.4 running great, had to install Windows for something that couldn't be done through through virtual machine. So, I booted with a Ubuntu Live CD, and used gparted to make a partition for Windows. I just unmounted my HDD and made a 50GB portion for Windows. I turned off my machine and Ubuntu booted up just fine with all my files intact.

I'm trying to figure out how to allocate ~80% of disk space to Ubuntu 12.10 and ~20% to Windows but after installation, it seems like I only have ~177 GB volume on both Ubuntu and Windows when my HDD is 1TB...GParted shows multiple partitions (3 nfts though I understand one is on the SSD?) with one of them being very large but inaccessible and protected(key symbol)?

[ubuntu] GParted I so. 12 weeks 1 day ago

I am trying o install Ubuntu on m gfs Dell Inspiron, using GParted iso cd. I created 3 partitions but have issues how to log out/ exit. cannot highlight gparted, edit, file, decide manager..........I have tried usin the tab , space bar, enter, etc....any kind of assistance would be appreciated. thanks

I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.4 LTS beside my Windows 7. So I put the CD and booted my PC, everything was easy, but I wanted to give Ubuntu 200GB and instead I gave it more than a terabyte. Now, my Windows 7 has just 288GB free space. Also Linux-swap has 12GiB which i think is too much. It should be 3GB.

I'm not quite sure how to partition my dual-boot Windows Vista and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I've gotten the part of the hard drive I want allocated to Ubuntu, but don't know how to partition my Ubuntu install. I can't find any threads to help. So I've attached a screenshot of my gparted screen.

Thanks

I have an asus k55VM.

The problem is that once done the partitions to install windows 7 finalize you and then ubuntu 12.10 the grub not to appear.

System specs: Acer Aspire 5738Z, Ubuntu 11.10 with GParted. 320GB hard-drive. (GParted is confused, the total of all partitions is 426GB, but the manufacturer's sticker clearly says "320GB HDD".)

I had allocated 10GB to Ubuntu during the installation a year and a bit ago. I thought that I could have a copy of any file on my windows partition, so I wouldn't need it on the Ubuntu one.

i have been trying to create NTSF partitions inside ubuntu to install my windows 7 ultimate edition back but GParted dont work or at least dont let me do anything on this version of ubuntu ( 12.04 LTS 32 bits ) and i dont want to wipe the drive to install windows back and then install ubuntu in dual boot because is the same im trying to do but doing it is a longer process
