Hello...after the new release of 10.04, I decided to give it a try, after using 9.10 on my other computer.

But the installer seems quite different than the previous 9.10, or before, where the option for "Use free space" isn't available anymore when I run the installer via boot from CD.

Afterward, I tried to use the Wubi installer, and everything went fine until there's error about bcdedit.exe, exactly like this person @ this post

I've followed all the steps necessary from the other threads, but nothing works...and why there's no more "use free space" option available from the menu like the previous version? I don't want to remove my Windows just to install ubuntu, or this was a bug or intended to?

Also, when I choose manually configure the drive, I won't able to use the free space, as it mentioned "not usable"..even I've reformatted the drive to FAT32/NTFS or even delete the whole partition volume...

Any helps? Thanks...I guess I'll stick with 9.10 atm until these issues are resolved...

Finally found my problem after checking all the partition...all the disk stated as "Dynamic", that's why ubuntu unable to utilizes the free spaces :(

Don't know how the hell my disks were converted to dynamic...now I've to backup all my data and convert it back to basic :( ...
