Re: Installing Ubuntu on hidden partition help?
Wow, the partitions are quite a mess. You can't hide partitions, the limitation of 4 primary or 3 primary + 1 extended is from the msdos table, not from windows. It doesn't matter if a partition is hidden, if it's still primary.
And the logical partitions need to be together next to each other. You create a logical partition with primary after it so effectively you can't create more logical now to be joined to the first one because there is no unalllocated space next to it.
Also, look at the partitions list at the top. What is the Samsung H: partition? It says 930GB but your hdd is 500GB. How can that be?
A perfect example how windows partitioning tools can really mess up your hdd sometimes. If you have the possibility to move your data on some external hdd, do it so you have backup of it. Then I would try deleting all non-system partitions to try and sort out the issue.
If you are sure you are not using that 25GB partition, you can try deleting it too.
In any case, this will be tricky to sort out. It's best if the D: data partition was before the logical, not after it. You should always try to keep primary partitions at front, logicals at back so they can be all together in the extended partition. But windows is not really smart.
Look at the current partition list at top. It says you have 4 primary and 1 logical which is impossible. You can either have 4 primary, or 3 primary + logical partitions.
Darko.
