Ok gang here’s the situation. I bought a laptop with Windows XP on it. I used a soft partitioning tool, can’t think of the name of it off the top of my pointy head but if some feels it is relevant I will check when I get home, to carve up the hard drive into 2 partitions. It is a 50/50 split. The drive is a 40 gig drive.
I tried to load Ubuntu on the second partition, the installer recognizes the partition but somewhere in the middle of formatting the partition the install fails. I remember way back when I first installed RH 5.2 you couldn’t install past a certain cylinder is that still the case? I’d like to make this a dual boot system. I know the info I gave here is kinda vague. If you have more pointed questions I would be happy to answer them.
Thanks
