Hello,
I have 1 laptop that was running 8.04 and I successfully up-graded it to 9.04 with no problems. However I have another laptop that is running XP Pro and I want to install 9.04 and set it up as a dual boot. Right now this system has 1 hard drive with 1 NTFS partition for XP Pro.
I've downloaded 9.04, burned to CD and when I boot to the CD the install looks ok until I get to the partition manager. At that point I tell it I want to have the choice of OS at boot up, and the partition manager shows me 1 small fat32 partition, a large NTFS partition for XP, and a partition for Ubuntu at the end. I accept these default settings and go to the next step, and then it gives me an error and says I must go back to the partition manager. Then I'm stuck in this loop. I've tried the install on other machines where I just give Ubuntu the entire drive and it works fine. I'm not sure why the partition manger is giving me problems now. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian
