Hi Kim I think you had 2 bugs: - first is that "Windows showed 5 partitions, all primary", because normally a disk can contain only 4 primary partitions. - second is that GRUB install failed. For other people information, but I add a detail that you told me by email :
> - when I got access to Windows I removed the two partitions that Ubuntu had > created > - I then set about reinstalling Ubuntu, however when it came to the > partitioning choices, I made these manually > - I asked for a 5Gb swap and a 60Gb / drive > - the install proceeded to the point where GRUB was installing, then stalled -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901902 Title: Installation creates too many partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/901902/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
