[06:44] <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
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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?
[06:47] <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"
[06:48] <RgCz> I had ubuntu before, but the thing is i can't find the 80 gb partition i made in the installer
[06:49] <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
[06:50] <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
[06:51] <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
[06:52] <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?
[06:53] <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
[06:54] <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
[06:55] <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
[06:56] <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
[06:57] <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
[06:58] <holstein> trying from CD wont hurt
[06:59] <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
[07:00] <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
[07:01] <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
[07:02] <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
[07:05] <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.
