I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on to a new HP Pavilion g4-1015dx notebook running Windows 7
I just purchase the above referenced notebook and want to install 10.04 which is what I use on my desktop. I do not, at this point, want to overwrite windows. the partitions are as follows: sda1 (ntfs) Windows 7 loader 208.7mb, sda2 (ntfs) windows vista loader 304.8gb*, sda3 (ntfs) Windows Vista Loader 15gb (recovery partition); sda4 (fat32) 108.4mb. I read something about shrinking via windows so I shrunk the sda2 to approximately 160gb leaving an unallocated space of approximately 145gb. When I try to install, I cannot do anything with the unallocated partition. How do I complete the installation? Would it be easier if I use the Ubuntu 11?
Thank you
