Hello,
when I try to install Ubuntu 9.0.4 desktop on two different laptops, there is a strange difference in behavior:
laptop #1: HP n1020v , Windows XP on Partition C: (only part. on 40 GB HDD), 33 GB free, install from Live-CD --> everything as expected: partitioner gives me the option to install alongside Windows and to resize existing partition by way of a "slider"
laptop #2: HP nx9420 , Windows XP on Partition C: (only part. on 80 GB HDD), 30 GB free, install from Live-CD --> and now here's the problem: partitioner does not give me the resize option, but rather wants me to install ubuntu using the entire disks or to
"edit partitions manually".
I would be most grateful for any hint as to why laptop #2 behaves differently from #1!
Thank you very much,
Uli
