Ubuntu

I cant see my partitions on the Advance Partitioning window in Ununtu 10.04

Asked by Harinda

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my Compaq Laptop (C767TU series). During the installation i wanted to use the Manual Partitioning but when i select that i couldn't see any of my partitions. Since i am already having a dual boot system, i was expecting the setup program to display all my partitions and allow me to select root and swap partitions manually.

it shows...open gparted and then see what are the partitions it is showing. create a partition with gparted (gnome partition manager)..it will show all the available partitions with space and file system....
