[ubuntu-in] Welcome to the

[RajaSekhar Yeruva]

Hi Ashfaq,
 Welcome to Ubuntu Mailing list. Come to you problem. 
Are you trying to dual boot along with your Windows
PC. or you are trying to dedicate whole computer to
Ubuntu. 
Also tell us what option you have choosen while
partioning your Disk. There will be three options. 
1. Partition Entire disk
2. Choose largest continuous volume
3. Manua1 partition.

I recommand you to use 3 rd option. Prior to this You
need to make a root and swap partition ready for
ubuntu install.
First answer these questions. Later we will guide you
through the steps or send you a link that helps you
install correctly

Thanks
Raj
