Hi,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 over old version 9.10. Mine is Dell laptop with Vista and Ubuntu running as dual boot. While installing Ubuntu 10.04, it is saying 'there are no Operating systems" and no partitions were detected.

I tried to use 'partman/alignment=cylinder' while booting, but it couldn't help.

FYI, My laptop has 4 primary partitions

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks!

Output from this command,
sudo fidsk -l, Also did you use the Manual method from LiveCD?

No luck with the CD.
I have upgraded to 10.04 by using Network Upgrade. :)

Thanks!
