Installationprobleme mit Windows7

Asked by Solarbhoy

Hallo,
ich habe Ubuntu 10.04 auf einer Live-CD ausprobiert und es gefiel mir so gut, dass ich es neben Windows 7 installieren wollte.
Ich hatte in der Chip Fotostrecke gesehen, dass man bei der Installation die Option
<<Nebeneinander installieren und bei jedem Start zwischen diesen wählen>>
auswählen kann.
Bei meinem Installationsversuch erschienen aber nur
<<Löschen und das gesamte Medium verwenden >> und <<Partition manuell festlegen>>
Mit der manuellen Konfiguration der Partitionen bin ich aber überfordert.

Kann mir jemand sagen, war die Option der Installation <<Nebeneinander...>> nicht erscheint und was ich da machen kann?

Danke schön!

Hi
Can you post your problem in english? Also google translate says your having a problem in manual partitioning but it doesnt say what the problem is exactly.

ok Rohan, I will try it in English:
I tested Ubuntu 10.04 64bit with live CD and wanted to install it in parallel with an existing Windows 7 version. I have seen in several pictures that it is possible to choose this option, but when I came to this step in the installation the option was missing.
I might have delete everything and use the whole disc space or do a manual configuration of the partitioning table which is simply to much for me.
So my question is if anyone has an idea why I did not get option to install ubuntu in parallel to Windows 7?
Thank you very much!

Ok,this particular issue might be due to the fact that the installer ( ubiquity ) does not find enough contiguous free space on your partitions to be able to perform a parallel install,that is why you have to manually edit your partition table to be able to install ubuntu.
What you can do is try and make about 7-8 GB of free space on your C: drive and then run the installer again,then it might be able to install it alongside windows.But im not entirely sure that it will work.

I just added ~20GB to C: and D: drives, but the result was the same...
I will ask a colleague to come along and try the manual way!

Thank you for you support Rohan!
