This happened to me when i tried to install Ubuntu from CD/DVD (standard install) on HP - pavilion laptop with already 4 primary partitions. Not all but laptops sometimes comes with windows pre-installed (2 primary partitions for windows) and 2 extra partitions , 1 for recovery and one is tools (HP-TOOLS in my example). In this situation when you run ubuntu installer you haven't option for "Alongside windows" . This option does not exist. The first option (instead "Alongside windows") is "inside windows" . Inside windows means something like wubi. This change happen cause ubuntu installer does not have the ability to create another partition.
To reproduce this , you must try to install Ubuntu (standard install) to a laptop with already 4 primary partitions (pre-partitioning laptop from company). Maybe i didn't explain the situation clearly (my English knowledge is responsible for that.. sorry) When you do a wubi install you haven't any problems cause wubi don't need partitioning . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Manual Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Manual. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017041 Title: shouldn't had a report or a note about install with 4 primary partitions ?
