[06:55] hi leoncutz [06:55] how can I help you? [06:55] hi apogee [06:55] hi leoncutz , wusup? [06:56] i am very new to ubuntu. i only install it yesterday. however the installation is corrupted. my screen keeps flickering [06:56] what should i do? uninstal it & reinstall it again? [06:56] have u tried the livecd? is it working? [06:57] but i do not know how to either reinstall or uninstall it [06:57] I suggest u try using the livecd first [06:57] i dloaded it fm the net & burn it to my cd. then i successfully install ot [06:57] if everything is OK, then u can install it [06:57] it [06:58] yes the live cd was working fine [06:58] then i install it alongside my currnet window 7 operating system [06:58] to reinstall, you can simply run the livecd, open gparted and delete your previous installed partition [06:58] now should i uninstall it ot reinstall it again? [06:59] then install it again [06:59] i am very sorry but i am VERY new to this operating system [06:59] but how do i reinstall it on the same partition pls? [06:59] how the previous installation corrupted? [07:00] it was working fine at 1st. then i uopdated the drivers and it was working fine [07:00] ok, here is the step. reboot your computer and run the livecd [07:00] btu after few hrs, the screen keeps flickering [07:00] ok [07:01] then [07:01] then, you go to System > Administration > Partition Editor [07:01] select the partition you previously install ubuntu and delete them [07:02] how many hdd you have on this computer? [07:02] when i boot up the livecd, do i go into demo? [07:02] yes [07:03] go to demo ... it will run ubuntu without any change to your HDD [07:03] then, you can delete/modify your HDD from there [07:03] i only hv 1 hdd. which i partition into 2 [07:04] good, so you know where you previously install your ubuntu [07:04] just open the Partition Editor and delete your previous installation [07:04] ok then how do i reinstall it to the same partition or do i need to resize my partition? [07:05] after that, you may close your Partition Editor and click on Install icon on the desktop [07:05] follow the instruction and you are done [07:05] tks so much [07:06] after u delete your previous installation partition, it will be unpartitioned [07:07] therefore, from your ubuntu installer, it will ask you where to install them and you can select that free space [07:07] tks again u. r u malaysian? how do i contact you if i need assistance in ubuntu. i got alot to learn here [07:07] for new installation [07:07] I'm Malaysian [07:07] my blog is http://coderstalk.blogspot.com [07:07] u hv been such a great help [07:08] the fastest way to contact me is thru my facebook... http://www.facebook.com/m.fauzilkamil [07:08] you can also post question on ubuntu Malaysia mailing list...

[09:48] not yet because during the installation wizard, there is an option to install alongside or use the selected partition to install [09:49] then? [09:49] when i use install alongside, it takes up space for my other partition, so i will use advance installation [09:49] what do u mean other partition? [09:49] there i can choose the free space partition but when i click install it doesent want to install [09:50] file? (which is ntfs)? [09:50] the unlocated space which i deleted the ubuntu [09:50] why it doesn't want to install? any error? [09:50] nope. the unlocated space [09:51] yes. there is an error. ask me to go back to partition something..... [09:51] i dont really remember [09:51] apogee: why cant i boot into windows? [09:51] indeed, you have to make the partition if u are using advance mode [09:51] ok so i go to advance mode right? [09:52] wait... which one is the question... u want to boot windows? [09:52] then i select the unallocated space & then i click add [09:52] just now u said u can load windows [09:52] no i cant load into windows... [09:52] sorry typo error kot [09:52] there is an error [09:52] what happen when u load windows? [09:53] no such partition [09:53] grub rescue ? [09:53] grub rescue ?> [09:53] sorry [09:53] grub rescue > [09:53] owh... u mess up your grub [09:54] i got no idea what u meant by that.. haha. can it be solved? [09:54] grub is your bootloader... you can select either to boot windows or ubuntu from grub [09:54] yes, it can be solved [09:54] ohh yes that appeared when i had to operating systems installed [09:54] after u install your ubuntu, you can update your grub settings [09:55] ohh ok.. so now how do i install ubuntu in the advance mode inorder for me to utilise the free space? [09:55]
