Here's the scenario: Single hard drive, 4 partitions. Linux partitions configured manually before attempting to install. sda1 - Windows sda2 - NTFS data sda4 - Ubuntu boot/OS (primary) sda5 - Linux swap (logical) When I get to "Allocate drive space", I select sda4 to choose as the install partition. If I don't choose a "mount point" for sda4, I get an error about "no root file system defined". options are: / /boot /home /tmp /usr /var /srv /opt /usr/local Don't know what to choose Then back in the original window, I have an option for "boot loader" Options are: /dev/sda {drive type and model} (160gb) /dev/sda1 Microsoft Windows XP Professional /dev/sda2 /dev/sda4 Ubuntu 10.10 Don't know what to choose here. I tried 4 unsuccessful installs. After re-boot, all I get is the "grub repair" prompt and no list of OS to choose for boot. Don't have these problems when installing to a separate drive. Can't do that here because this is a laptop. </body> </html>
