Public bug reported: I recently burnt the Xubuntu Hardy Heron Live CD Beta to install it to my Inspiron 1420 laptop, which is currently running Xubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and also has Windows Vista on another partition. When I try to install Hardy with Ubiquity (or even with the new option to install straight away without booting to live cd), I get to the partitioning part and choose "manual". However, the partitioner does not detect any of my existing partitions and only detects my entire hard drive as "unallocated". Needless to say, I sure don't want to delete my existing partitions, as I have a seperate /home partition containing all my data.
Here is my partition setup: [code] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo fdisk -l [sudo] password for shayne: Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xd0000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 14267 14594 2620416 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda2 * 10 1315 10485760 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 1315 4962 29296875 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda4 4963 14594 77362032+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 14267 14594 2620416 dd Unknown /dev/sda6 * 4963 6178 9767488+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 14145 14266 979933+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda8 6179 14144 63986863+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order [/code] It looks like it could be related to some of these bugs from previous releases: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/174669 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/108804 https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/5370 ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: hardy ** Tags added: hardy -- Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
