Hi there,
I am a novice of Linux and trying to install ubuntu 12.10 (i386) on my laptop after installing Windows 8 (32-bit). I have shrinked 20G from the last partition of my HDD in windows 8. This new partition have no name and has not been formatted. I try to install ubuntu via Live-USB, however, I cannot find the 20G free space. And even worse, the partitions in windows (NTFS) are not displayed, only with the hole disk displayed.
I have noticed that the partitions' type are dynamic for the disk. Should that be a problem? Need I convert it to basic? Can I process the conversion without losing data on the disk?
Or, are there any other problems?
Thank you in advance!
