Hello,

I have recently downloaded Ubuntu, and I was hoping to install it. But the problem is that I cannot make a partition bigger than 8Mb, I have a Maxator 500Gb SATA-II HDD. When I go into the partition utility under Ubuntu I get this message relating my HDD:

Anybody know how to fix this, because I really like this OS (Getting sick of XP) and I would really like to be able to use it without the CD.

(If this is posted in the wrong forum, I apologize)

Thank you.

I'd do as it says!

Log into windows and run


chkdisk /f

That will hopefully sort all the errors on the partition.

All the best:D
