    Existing Partitions not shown in new installation

    Hello Friends,

    I am trying to install kubuntu on my existing partition scheme as

    1) Primary Partition : 30 GB ( Vista)

    2) Extended Partion: i) 25 GB ( D Drive)
    ii) 25 GB ( E Drive)
    iii) 10 GB ( F Drive)
    iv) /boot ( Gnome ubuntu)
    v) / ( Gnome ubuntu)
    vii) FREE PARTITION 7 GB <---

    I want to do it on 7 GB free partition.
    BUT when I try to install from live cd of kubuntu then it doen't show my existing partition but a complete 120 GB disk and ask to create new partion table...
    I am sure by this i will end up with spoiling my existing scheme...
    Please help how can opt from my exiting partion the / for kubuntu..

    Thanks

    When you are trying to install, the entire hard disk will be shown. You can select the 'Advanced' option, and add (or delete) new (or existing) partitions according to your need. So, there you can delete your 7 GB partition and recreate with necessary disk space and a file system type. And then you can install your Linux there. This is the general concept for all Linux distros, including Ubuntu and XUbuntu.
