I tried to install ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386. While booting from live cd I checked GParted and details confused me. As I recently formatted my PC after moving all data to other internal HD, you can see all partitions are empty. Now I have to install ubuntu on D partition. But I see a partition extended 172 GB which I actually don't have. How should I proceed? Also, when I clicked on Windows partitions they appeared on the desktop. Is this mounting?
This is a continuation of the question.

/dev/sda1 is a primary partition.

/dev/sda2 is an extended partition, think 'container' and is 172 gig TOTAL, made up of sda5 thru 9.

And yes, that is mounting.

Hope that helps.
