Hello everyone,recently i decided to leave opensuse and try (k)ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.On opensuse instalation many things were completely automated,so i have some questions.
The main problem seems to be that kubuntu does not see one of my HD's.The way i have partitioned my system is.
80GB HD:
1.60GB for win xp(ntfs)
2.5.5GB for root parition(ext3,primary)
3.14 GB for home parition(ext3,primary)
4.0.5GB for swap (primary)
200GB HD
1.180 GB(ntfs)
2.20GB (fat32)
300GB HD usb
My problem here is that
On the live cd kubuntu will not see the 60GB win xp partition at all.But all the other partitions are visible.
My other issue is that there not seem to be a boot loader worikng after instalation,or there is no bott loader installed,cause after i finish instalation and make the initial boot system boots directly to windows,like a boot loader does not exist.
I think i have made something wrong with partitions or during instalation.
The only steps i might do wrong is the the steps with paritioning.
At this step i choose manual paritioning and i partition my HDD as stated above.I set mount points for ntfs partions(/windows/c , /windows/d....etc and check the option "use--as ntfs and fat32" for these paritions and i only set the option format for the ext3 partitions.
Also at the next screen at advanced options the box install boot loader is checked and the device for the boot loader to be installed is (hd0) should that be a different device?
To sum up my main problems is that the partition or HD that win xp partition is,is not visible and i have no boot loader working.
Long and not well written post,i know, really sorry for that.If u need any different infos from the one's above plz let me know.
Thnx a lot in advance
