I have three partitions, one with Vista, one with XP, and a new 30 gig partition for Ubuntu. I've used Ubuntu as the only OS on another laptop before and everything went great. However, I can NOT get Ubuntu to install to the partition I want.
Using "guided - largest continuous free space" gives me a "partition too small" error (I wasn't aware that 30 gigs was small, so this is news to me). I'm forced to use manual, I set 1 gig for a swap file and the rest for my / partition and proceed with installation. Once it tries to format / install though I get an error saying that the partition can't be formatted. Why? It's currently fat32. I love Ubuntu so I'm rather frustrated that I can't get it to install on this system. Any ideas?
