Hello everyone and thanks for reading.
My issue is this:
I want to install ubuntu in a work laptop that has Windows XP. It's got a 160 GB hard drive and it's not partitioned. I tried the install and it didn't work. It gave me a message saying there had been an error and the partitioning had been aborted (I chose to partition 20 GB out of the 160 for ubuntu). The Windows XP worked ok afterwards.
My question is:
Could it be some kind of block for a disk not to be partiotioned or why could it be that it is not working?
Anything else that I'm not seeing?
Should I keep trying ?
I hope someone can help me, because I'm not a computers person and this computer is my work laptop and we don't have admin user so we can't install anything. My house was robbed and they stole my personal laptop, I'm very depressed.
Thank you
