I have iso image for Ubuntu 11.0.4 on a CD. My OS is windows XP. I have 3 partions c, E and F. Windows is installed on C, and F has data. E is empty drive. Now, after I start installation , I choose the third option. Then click forward and I am shown three figures --
/dev/sda1 52427(total)/50931(used)
/dev/sda5 52427(total)/3221(used)
-- surprised, since it should be empty. I had used wubi to install earlier but have uninstalled.
/dev/sda5 215206(total)/37545(used)
Now, it means I need to choose sda5. Now how should I go about creating 3 partions for /(root), /home and /swap. Click edit partion and give size for each of them?
