Hello!
I have tried to install ubunt 9.04 x64 version on my computer.
I have a
160 GB SATA drive
200 GB SATA drive
40 GB PATA drive.
Now my plan was this. Partition the 160 GB drive into a 40 and a 120 sized one. Install Windows XP x64 on the 40 GB partition. This was successful.
Now I got the ubuntu alternate installer. Booted up, and configured the drives as I saw one tutorial on setting up kubuntu with encryption. I want to install ubuntu on the 40 GB PATA drive. It was something like this:
I made an ext3 300 MB partition with boot flag on, and mounted as /boot.
I set the rest up as partition for encryption.
I configured the encryption settings.
I took the encrypted volume and set it to be used as a partition for LVM.
I created a volume group with three volumes. 20 GB ext4 as "/", 2 GB as swap area, the rest as ext4 "/home".
At the end I took the space from the 160 GB SATA drive, which was not the windows xp partition (120 GB), and took the other 200 GB drive, set them up in LVM as ONE volume and set it to ext4 and mounted as a custom labeled "/data".
This was not encrypted, only the 40 GB PATA drive was encrypted except the /boot partition there.
Now install was successful, but when the computer reboots, I get "Error loading operating system" and stop. I can't get to ubuntu nor windows. What can I do?
BTW this is a link to the tutorial I followed. So basically I set the 40 GB PATA drive up exactly like this!
