Trying to install 10.04, installer reports zero disk space.

I have;

150gigs windows partition

100gigs unused partition.

What do i have to do to get the installer to find the unused disk space ?.

cheers

During install delete unused partition and on free space make Ubuntu partition.It is good to make separate home,because that way your settings&files will be safe if you decide in future to reinstall,make fresh install...So,on that unallocated space make root partition mountpoint / and format it as ext4.Give it ~10GB.Except few GB for swap you can give rest of free space to home mountpoint /home ext4.
