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:
Its worked in all the linux's I have used since Mandrake 7. You just
have to tell the XP installer to not use all of the drive which is the
default. I know users like to just hammer enter to move things along but
if you partition wisely this method works great.

Why do you think you can resize an NTFS partition to make space for
linux, this is exactly synonymous with initially setting the right size
from the start rather than setting the NTFS partition to take 100% space
in the XP installer.

Please watch this from 3 minutes onwards:

I think you'll fid this video highlights exactly what I am saying.
