Hi all, new to this forum;
First of all i am using a brand new hard drive with no data or partitions on it prior.
im using the GParted program found on the ubuntu live cd to partition my harddrive so i can dual boot between ubuntu and windows 7. However, after i have partitioned my hard drive, when i boot up the windows 7 disc to install it I can not install onto the partition.
It gives me an error which says that I can not install onto this partition because it is using the GPT partition system. So I tried to delete all the partitions that I have created and let Windows 7 handle all the partitioning. After windows 7 is installed, i tried to boot into the Ubuntu live CD. When i go to install ubuntu, the program GParted can not see any of the partitions that windows 7 has created.
So as of right now it looks like my only option is to install one and im going to install ubuntu unless you guys can help me out here cause iv researched and havent found any answers.
