I'm trying to install Ubuntu one more time on my laptop. The problem is this...
I bought a new hard drive and decided to install Windows XP and Ubuntu except... I purposely at first left roughly 50GB of unpartitioned space for Ubuntu. It seems that no matter what option I choose, it wants to install and format the entire hard drive. It is rather annoying. I even tried going back on XP and making a formatted space to see if that would work, but it doesn't. So I need the next best help.
the file size it shows for that remainder that is supposed to be Ubuntu is 52666 MB. I know I need for a root and swap, but I'm pretty sure there is something else I need.
Give me help please.
