In a new Asus laptop (x-200LA-KX034D) with 4gb Ram and 500gb hdd loaded with free DOS I tried to install lubuntu by downloading iso file and creating a bootable usb drive (used unetbootin) to give dual boot set up. Installation started showing many options and I selected "install lubuntu". After two or three steps I was shown default hdd partition of 246gb and 239gb respectively for freeDos (Fat32) and lubuntu (ext4) and I kept the default. After this there was message that this partitioning may take long time and I waited for one and half hour but the process did not end. By this time part of lubuntu had been installed and I shutdown the machine assuming something had gone wrong. This is very unfortunate to terminate installation this way. Now please tell me whether hdd may have been affected adversely and how I should proceed for installation again. Should I uninstall whatever part of lubuntu had been installed? How to do that? Another doubt is: is it normal to have different file system like fat32 and ext4 for two partitions of same hdd? I need to keep the free DOS even though I won't use it seriously.
