Hello all, As the time changes and new generation is moving towards linux operating system there are more people who want to or try install versions of linux (ubuntu in common) on their systems. Giving away windows for new users is not an easy task.
So, one of the best way is to interact both with the windows and ubuntu at the same time and on the same system.'
There are certain problems that arise during dual booting ubuntu with windows and in this article I am going to discuss one of those.
Partitions not visible at the time of installation of ubuntu alongside windows.
Sometimes it happens that you have created a separate partition to install ubuntu from your Windows Disk Partition Menu, but at the time of ubuntu installation, System do not show any of the partition rather it appears only a single disk (your whole hard disk) as a single partition.
What all you need to do is make a bootable device( pendrive or DVD) and use "try ubuntu". When you are present with ubuntu desktop, run terminal( ctrl+alt+T will help) and type the following command:
Launch gdisk on the disk by typing
"sudo gdisk /dev/sda"
It will
probably complain that it's found both MBR and GPT data and ask which it
should use. Choose either; it doesn't matter which you'll use, given
what you're about to do.
Type "x" to enter the experts' menu.
Type "z" to "zap" (destroy) the GPT data.
Type "y" to confirm you want to destroy the GPT data.
Type "n" when asked if you want to blank out the MBR. If you type "y"
here, you'll destroy your MBR partition table, so be very very careful
at this step!
That's all you need to do, now restart your installation. you will see all your created partition.
Enjoy ubuntu!!!
