I want to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a PC which already has Windows 7 installed. I have set up an unformatted primary partition with GParted and Ubuntu live:
During the installation I choose language (I'm Italian), time and keyboard, and then it shows me the "prepare partition" window, with no partitions at all and all greyed out!
Do you have any hints? | ||||

This is strange, as I assume you are using the same liveCD for both partitioning and installing, right? So I don't see how comes the system sees your HD on the first case and not in the second. Did you reboot the machine between partitioning and trying to install? If not I would first try that. As a second option (this is not really a solution but a possible workaround) I would try the alternate install CD (available on the ubuntu website) which is text based. Is there anything particular about your HD configuration? (Like virtual volumes or raid configurations?). | |||

yes, same liveCD for partitioning and installing, and i've rebooted many times to try that :( No raid configuration, a one only SATA hard disk. i've installed 9.04 and it works perfectly, i see all partitions in the partitions window :| so this thing is a bug of Karmic (9.10). then i've upgraded to 9.10, everything works now | |||
