It seems I've been sitting under a rock for some time :popcorn:. I hear everyone talking about it. I know what Nautilus Elemntary is, but not the breadcrumbs part. After searching Google, I still...

I'm also having the same problem. Does anybody know of a solution?

Is there an option to prevent this from happening?

Have you tried looking at your hard disk with Gparted? It should give you a graphical layout of partitions on your hard drive. The original Windows partition (if any) would show up as NTFS format.

Yes you can,just make sure that you're using the live CD/usb to resize Ubuntu's ext4 partition (the largest one).

Don't worry about the flagged Windows partition, once Ubuntu is installed, it overwrites Windows bootloader (the thing that chooses which operating system you're going to boot into).

To update the...

Go to System->Administration->Gparted
After it's done scanning your hard drive(s) Select the NTFS partition (this is the partition to the very left).
Right click it and select delete. Now you...
