OK, let's go back a step. You are saying 2 mutually-contradictory things here. On the one hand, in an earlier message, you said > In the past, when I have installed Ubuntu I was offered the choice to set up > partitions > but this time I was not. And in this one you say: > there was no partitioning choice offered. But then you say: > I > think I chose the first offer which was to install alongside Windows 7. That *is* the partitioning stage! So when you follow that with: > The > installer did not do this and I am now wondering if this is a bug or have I > missed something? You have missed something. When it says "install alongside Windows", that does not say or mean or imply anything about *where* on which disk it's going to go. It just means it will leave Windows in place, possibly resizing it, and make a new partition for Ubuntu. If you want to pick where, you have to click the customise button and make your own. Surely you have done this before? -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
