Re: [Question #77535]: Hard Drive/Partition not detected?

 

Question #77535 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77535

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Yes automatic partitioning for Ubuntu but the dual boot is made MUCH
easier by installing Windows first, The default coice for windows is
(retardedly) using the entire disk for one big partition. If you select
the size you want to set the windows partition to then Ubuntu will see
the remaining space and offer to use it. This is the easiest way to
setup a dual boot rig.

If you are only installing ubuntu on the system then what Tom suggested
sounds great, my / partition is only 4Gb in size with the rest as swap
and /home but my system use is only browsing and chatting so I maximise
my space for user data.
