I thought Ubuntu gave you an manual option to setup the hard drive partition, which allowed for two systems on two separate partition. I know ive done it. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 3:08 AM, Liam Proven <<a href="mailto:lproven@gmail.com">lproven@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">2009/2/26 rizzuwan wahid <<a href="mailto:rizzuwan@yahoo.com">rizzuwan@yahoo.com</a>>: <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">> I've a hard disk that consist of two partitions, that known as c and d, and > I want to install a Ubuntu in one of the existing partition while not > erasing the other partition. > What I've counter is, when i want to install it, either it will erase all > partition and then install it or it will create another partition. > So how i want to install the Ubuntu in the existing partition either in c or > d without erasing the other partition or create new partition....? > > RIZZUWAN </div></div>The easiest way is probably to do the first step in Windows. So, in Windows, move everything you want to keep off D onto C or something. Then run Disk Manager (assuming you're using XP) - Start | Run | diskmgmt.msc Select the D drive - and make very very sure that it *IS* the D drive, not the C drive - and delete it. Save the changes and reboot. Check that Windows still boots and runs off C. So long as it's OK, reboot with your Ubuntu CD and get it to use the free space. -- Liam Proven • Profile: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven" target="_blank">http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven</a> Email: <a href="mailto:lproven@cix.co.uk">lproven@cix.co.uk</a> • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: <a href="mailto:lproven@gmail.com">lproven@gmail.com</a> Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat, Yahoo & Skype: liamproven MSN: <a href="mailto:lproven@hotmail.com">lproven@hotmail.com</a> • ICQ: 73187508 -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div> -- Robert Flatters, AMBSC
