I wiped out new windows vista<br> (not many data). I am trying to make dual boot now<br> but no windows gets installed ( ubuntu is there luckily) <br> during windows installation some partitions were made NTFS<br> some left ext3. A mess means there are some random
partitions.<br> I was trying gparted live cd but it does not have<br> marge option.<br><br> My problem with vista is that it stops in the last phase of the<br>installation<br> called "Completing installation". I can see the dots<br>going right and left but<br> nothing ever happens. It is like 3/4 of the process (according<br>to the bar).<br> I found some trace on the web saying that it might be partition<br>problrm in fact.<br> I have tried two different images of vista burned to the cd.<br> <br> "I haven't seen it in a while but it might be a faulty<br>partition such as overlapping partitions. Not sure but some people had issues<br>with too many linux installs not allowing ms to run. They had to zero out the<br>partition tables. I can't find that link."<br><br>Might try a system diag suite.<br><br><br><br> It is
partition logic that cannot detect the disk. Partition<br>magic would have to be <br> installed in windows. <br> <br> <br> Jacek<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Najlepsze oferty kupna, sprzedazy i wynajmu nieruchomosci!<br>Kliknij >>> http://link.interia.pl/f1f24<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br></pre></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
