Trying to get Ubuntu to install where I want it too.

[Arukas]

I have 200 gigs of unparition space on a hard drive and Ubuntu does not want to install there. How can I make Ubuntu install there with a guided approach? I do not know how to manually install what I want it too.

You can use an installed Ubuntu or the live cd, open a terminal and post the output of:

sudo fdisk -l
-l is a lowercase "L"

Here's an excellent guide for partitioning basics:

That does work. Ubuntu wants to still install on my second drive. Its doesn't want to install where I want it too. And fdisking it doesn't help.

Did the output of the command I gave you earlier show the unpartitioned space? If it does, you may be able to install Ubuntu using the manual partitioning option, which is relatively easy.

I can't get it to recognize my EIDE WD120 Gb drive. It recognizes the two 320Gb SATA drives and install there, but still does not recognize the EIDE drive.
