10.10 installation fails: not paritition nor hard drive visible, Gparted does not start: trying to install 10.10 as a 2nd boot to windows Xp MCE installation. I get the the stage "allocate drive space", but there is not device nor hard drive visible. if I click install now I get an error message, no root file system defined. please correct this from the partitiioning menu.
If I sart GPARtition, it does not start.

I am totally lost, I have two parititions on hard drive that i created with fresh XP MCE installation, one dedicated to XP, other I reserverd for Ubuntu. Neither one is viisible at the installation. Anybody can help with this ?

Sippeus,

Please boot up from your LiveCD/LiveUSB, select 'TRY' and then:

In the Terminal (Menu to: Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal), please run this command: (the -'l' is a lower case 'L')

sudo fdisk -l
Then copy the text from the output and paste it into your next post.
