| RgCz | Hi, i need help installing Ubuntu Studio from CD. I don't know how to select a partition i already made in my hard drive. I'm on the partition discs screen. | 06:44 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | RgCz: its going to be like any of the alternate installers | 06:44 |
| holstein | you should just select one as / | 06:45 |
| holstein | you can also just clear out some space and let the installer use whats left | 06:45 |
| RgCz | Ok, i want to select the 80 GB partition i have for /, but it tells me to choose the one with 633.8 GB | 06:46 |
| holstein | it? | 06:46 |
| holstein | just tell it what you want | 06:47 |
| holstein | you'll need to elaborate | 06:47 |
| holstein | i would think setting whatver you want to / would do it | 06:47 |
| RgCz | Should i use the option "use entire disk" | 06:47 |
| RgCz | I had ubuntu before, but the thing is i can't find the 80 gb partition i made in the installer | 06:48 |
| holstein | RgCz: you can also just get the normal ubuntu disc | 06:49 |
| holstein | install with a live GUI | 06:49 |
| holstein | and convert to studio | 06:49 |
| holstein | or just install what you want from studio | 06:49 |
| RgCz | yeah i tried that but the installer froze in detecting file systems | 06:49 |
| holstein | if you want to use the entire disc, i would use 'use entire disk' | 06:50 |
| holstein | no reason not to | 06:50 |
| holstein | there might be a reason why its freezing though | 06:50 |
| RgCz | well i want to use entire disk of the 80 gb partition i have in my main drive | 06:50 |
| RgCz | yeah, i know. | 06:51 |
| RgCz | I'm sorry if im being annoying is just that im a little bit tired lol | 06:51 |
| holstein | RgCz: nah... im tired to | 06:51 |
| holstein | you're no bother :) | 06:51 |
| RgCz | Look, windows and ubuntu installer already detected the 80 gb partition | 06:51 |
| RgCz | but apparently studio installer is not picking the partiton | 06:52 |
| holstein | 'use entire disc' will do that though | 06:52 |
| holstein | it will use the whole disc | 06:52 |
| holstein | not that partition | 06:52 |
| RgCz | oh so i need to chose a different option then? | 06:52 |
| holstein | i would delete whatever partition you are going for | 06:53 |
| holstein | remake an ext4 partition with that installer | 06:53 |
| holstein | select is as / | 06:53 |
| holstein | and that should be all there is to it | 06:53 |
| RgCz | But that would affect windows? | 06:53 |
| RgCz | I want to be able to dual boot | 06:53 |
| RgCz | thats why i made the 80 gb part, and thats how i installed ubuntu on my past laptop | 06:54 |
| holstein | RgCz: whatever partition you made | 06:54 |
| holstein | however you made it | 06:54 |
| holstein | the one that you are trying to install to right now | 06:54 |
| holstein | if thats 'the 80gb partition' in question | 06:54 |
| holstein | then yes | 06:55 |
| holstein | that should be new | 06:55 |
| holstein | blank | 06:55 |
| holstein | empty | 06:55 |
| holstein | so | 06:55 |
| holstein | you delete that | 06:55 |
| holstein | use the installer to create a new 80gb ext partition | 06:55 |
| holstein | select it as / | 06:55 |
| holstein | could be in an odd format | 06:55 |
| holstein | could be that its just not showing up? | 06:56 |
| holstein | who knows | 06:56 |
| RgCz | well probably, it showed up in ubntu installer | 06:56 |
| holstein | but, if was part of some other partition, and you reclaimed the space, and made an emtpy partition | 06:56 |
| holstein | RgCz: ? | 06:56 |
| holstein | if it showed up | 06:56 |
| holstein | install to it | 06:56 |
| RgCz | not in the studio one | 06:56 |
| holstein | and convert to studio from that | 06:56 |
| RgCz | but it froze in the ubuntu one | 06:57 |
| holstein | right | 06:57 |
| RgCz | thats why i decided to go with the cd from studio i have | 06:57 |
| holstein | which takes me back to the idea that something is up with that disk | 06:57 |
| RgCz | i dont know if it has anything to do, but i tried to install it with unetbooting | 06:57 |
| holstein | trying from CD wont hurt | 06:58 |
| RgCz | first i just created the partiton with windows, then after freezing with ubuntu i gave the disk a name and i dont remember in what format i saved it , i think it was ntfs | 06:59 |
| RgCz | could that be it? | 06:59 |
| RgCz | yeah i know, but i dont have anymore cds lol | 06:59 |
| holstein | RgCz: you made an ext partion in windows? | 06:59 |
| holstein | i dont know how windows works | 06:59 |
| RgCz | its an unlocated hard disk partition insid | 06:59 |
| holstein | i can only suggest... if you have a partition there... remove it, and remake it with the ubuntu installer | 06:59 |
| RgCz | oh ok | 07:00 |
| holstein | RgCz: im out for the evening... im wiped | 07:00 |
| RgCz | can i retake that 80 gb to my normal drive? | 07:00 |
| RgCz | just hold for one sec please | 07:00 |
| holstein | RgCz: ? | 07:00 |
| RgCz | im almost done | 07:00 |
| holstein | not sure what you mean | 07:00 |
| holstein | you should back up your data | 07:00 |
| holstein | all of it | 07:00 |
| holstein | when you are doing things like this | 07:00 |
| RgCz | those 80 gb that i partitioned can i locate them back to my 630 gb drive | 07:01 |
| holstein | i would be resizing and making partitions with gparted | 07:01 |
| RgCz | yeah, gparted is better | 07:01 |
| holstein | RgCz: im not sure how you unallocated them | 07:01 |
| holstein | i mean... i can | 07:01 |
| holstein | gparted can | 07:01 |
| holstein | im not familiar with the tools you use in windows though, so i cant say | 07:01 |
| holstein | RgCz: you can always just let the installer disc do the resizing for you | 07:02 |
| RgCz | ok, ill try that. Thanks a lot! | 07:02 |
| RgCz | aparently my partition is marked as a logical unit | 07:02 |
| holstein | RgCz: i say, just be careful, and make sure you are backed up | 07:05 |
| holstein | and feel free to ask before you hit 'the button' | 07:05 |
| holstein | you can ask in #ubuntu-beginners if its dead in here | 07:05 |
| RgCz | oh ok. Thanks a lot dude. | 07:05 |
