In XP can not get continuous partition.

[R.L. Reingard]

Hello Mario
i see, data loss did not happened to me. okay, maybe i did a defrag of  
Windows before installing Ubuntu.
and i always took care of defragmenting anyway. but again, you do not have  
to resize Windows partition and create an empty partition for Ubuntu as  
this will be done by the Installation process.
save your personal data from Windows anyway.
