Installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Partition Problem/Win 7

[AlexMason]

I am having problems installing Ubuntu 10.04 it gets stuck at 4/8 of installing it shows no available partition's to use not even one's to right over windows 7. I downloaded the 32-bit version could this be the problem? Is the 64-bit version needed for Windows 7?

Thanks for the help this is a picture of my partitioned area:

it shows no available partition's to use not even one's to right over windows 7.
It looks like the harddrive is full, try and resize the C: partition using the Live CD and Qparted ..

Warning, fixing things that aren't broke can cause problems !

I am not sure what N: is as a RAW format. If it is a partition then all four partitions are in use and you cannot install anything more without deleting one to make a extended partition that can hold additional logical partitions.

Try deleting the N: drive from the windows partition manager.
It should be able to see the free space then.

Try running chkdsk on all the NTFS partitions.

I had trouble getting gparted to see my sda drive. My windows on the sda drive seemed to work ok, but after I ran chkdsk on the NTFS drive gparted did not have any trouble seeing my sda drive.
