I used UNetboot without a flash drive to get it on the computer. now I am stuck installing it. It says:Your installation medium is on /dev/sda2. You will not be able to create, delete, or resize partitions on this disk, but you may be able to install to existing partitions there.

Device Type Mount Point Format? Size Used

/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 fat16 73 MB 33MB
/dev/sda2 ntfs 76429 MB Unknown
/dev/sda3 fat32 3520 MB 2853 MB


When I click next it says "No root file system is defined.

Please correct this from the partitioning menu." I do not know what to do. I want Ubuntu to be the only OS.

there is a option to specify formatpartition=yes when starting the script from host.
