I have a windows xp box with 25 gig of unformted non partitioned space space on a dynamic drive. The hard drive is partitioned into 2 ntfs partitions for xp. When I attempt to install either core6 of Ubuntu the boot windows partition is recognized and the remainder of the drive is lumped into as single partition of an unrecognized format type. If I format a 3rd partition on the drive and format it as ntfs under windows (my only choice) it is still not recognized when I attempt to install any linux system. Both qparted and Gparted report the file system as unknown on the second and third volume on the drive. How do I prepare the drive so I can use the remaining portion as a linux OS. I can format and use the drive as a windows drive but that is not what I want and reformatting is not an option. -- Norm Recycle your old computers Be environmentally responsible Keep Computers out of Land Fills http://sios.ca/feeds/general/landfill.htm *Secure-It-OnSite Computer Security and more* RSS Feed http://sios.ca/feeds/sios.xml --
