Ubuntu 13.04 not detecting Windows 7 during Install

Question

I am trying to Install the latest Ubuntu 13.04 on my netbook but the installation is not able to detect any operating system installed on the machine. And asking me to either wipe out the whole disk or repartition it. I have already installed Windows 7 Strater, Android x-86 and Meego installed on my system.

During install it says " This Computer currently has no detected operating system"

Here is the output of sudo sfdisk -luS && sudo fdisk -l:

I have tried this workaround but it is not working in my case. Any prompt help would be appreciated. I request moderators to not to immediately close this question even if they think it has been previously solved as those solutions didn't worked for me.

Thanks in Advance.

Edit: Now I have deleted the other two Operating systems namely Meego and Android-x86 but still no avail. The partition table now looks like this.

Please Help!!

Answer 1

Well I finally solved the Problem using the fixparts command... it needs gdisk utility to be installed.

Following are the commands I ran to make the install.

$ sudo apt-get install gdisk
$ sudo fixparts /dev/sda
and then press the key 'w'

Done!

For more information on what FixParts is and what it is for can be found at rodsbooks. FixParts has evolved from the same author's project GPT fdisk (which includes gdisk, sgdisk and cgdisk)

Answer 2

I found the perfect solution. I searched on the internet for "Gparted" and downloaded it and burned to disk the LIVE disk image "GParted".
After backing up all my important files, I booted up off the GParted disk, and using the partitioning software, I deleted all partitions, and clicked on "Apply".
Then I removed the GParted disk and inserted the Windows 7 disk. I then installed Windows 7.
After which I then inserted the Ubuntu 13.04 disk, and when it began the installation it recognized Windows 7 and allowed me to install it alongside Windows 7 and also installed the Grub bootloader which gave me the option of choosing which Operating System to boot.
