This is my first time with Linux/ubuntu :( I had never installed it on any PCs b4.so plz help me to solve my problem :) and make me at least a good linux user :D.
I had run live several times and i had dared to try to install it few times but i never installed it(cancelled after steps 5 out of 7 :lolflag:.) I'm very frightened that i might lose my data and my windows xp.
1. I have 4 primary partitions on my 80gb HD(Sata):
windows show them like this:
C = primary partition = 30 gb
D = primary partition = 9.5 gb
E = primary partition = 17 gb
F = primary partition = 18 gb
2. I have WindowsXPSP3 installed on my C (i.e. 30 gb partition).
3. I dont want to mess up the C drive(windows xp) nor E and F. The only drive I want to use is D drive(i.e 9.5 gb).So i am ready to format D drive ( 9.5gb primary partition).
4. So help me,geniuses of ubuntu linux :wink:, to successfully install ubuntu 9.10 on my PC on the so called D drive(9.5 GB second Primary partition) by formating it(maybe with ntfs if possible) and keeping everything intact other than this partition :guitar:.
Im Waiting eagerly for Ur helpful replies and suggestions :-D
Thanks in advance :popcorn:
ps : I have 512 mb Ram
