Huah Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm trying to install ubuntu near windows but when i start the installation i can't go on because it doesn't find room on the hard disk. On the same hard disk i have Windows and it doesn't give me any problem. I have all the room that Ubuntu may ask and a lot more, evidently he can't see my hard disk. I booted the live version of Gparted from CD, i checked the list of hard drives and i saw that also Gparted doesn't manage to see my hard disk. I already formatted the whole hard disk, re-installed Windows and tryed to install Ubuntu again but i still have the same problem. 1) i used the disk gestion of windows 7 ultimate to format and make partitions 2) if i start wubi.exe from windows it opens a dialogue window: pyrun.exe - disk not present [a big X image] can not find the hard drive. Insert a disk into \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 http://imageshack.us.../259/pyrun.jpg/ if i press cancel or continue or whatever else it opens a new window with \harddisk2\DR2, if i close also this new window it goes to \harddisk3\DR3 and then to hardisk4\DR4 3) using the live version of ubuntu from the USB stick i went on the terminal and told him to check the hard drives: he found only the USB sticks This is what ubuntu can see from the terminal: Boot Info Script 0.60 from 17 May 2011============================= Boot Info Summary: ================================> Syslinux MBR (3.61-4.03) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sde.=> Syslinux MBR (4.04 and higher) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdf.sde1: __________________________________________________________________________ File system: vfat Boot sector type: SYSLINUX 4.01 debian-20100714 ...........>...r>.......(+.4...0...~.k...~...f...M.f.f....f..8~....>2} Boot sector info: Syslinux looks at sector 1427200 of /dev/sde1 for its second stage.

Alan2273 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Looking at the terminal output, you main hard drive (/dev/sde1), is only showing as 1GB, (1031MB's), you need at least 8GB's to install Ubuntu.Somehow when making your partitions you have not left enough space for another installation.Take a look at this tutorial for using GParted./>http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
