Full install

[Brizlitman]

I used a bootable cd to begin the installation process(the one where you wipe your HD) and i got to the bit where you pretty much have to chose which drive you have to format as well as the 'mount point'. Where do I go from there?

Version 11.04. HD(C) has 2 partitions, one containing windows and the other is just 1.31GB of space. the 2nd HD contains what appear to be system files.

1.3 GB space is not enough to get started.
Can you boot the Ubuntu install disk and choose "Try ubuntu without installig"
then come back here and post the output of

sudo sfdisk -luM

wiping HD will also erase windows.

it you can install it alongside (if you wish) the partitioning should be done automaticly in this case. also use whole disk (means delete windows) it will also repartition it automaticly unless you select the advanced options.

to install it next to windows see how to here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing
