I want to install Ubuntu 12.04
on my PC. It already has Windows 7 on it. I wanna use both as a dual boot PC. My HDD
is 1TB
& it has 4 partitions in Windows. But when I try to install Ubuntu I cant see those partitions. I can only see the whole HDD
as a single partition. How can i fix it? Please help.

Chances are you have one of two problems:
- Leftover RAID data -- This can usually be fixed by typing
sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda
at a Linux shell prompt, changing/dev/sda
to the device filename, if it's not/dev/sda
. - A damaged partition table -- Many problems with MBR partition tables can be fixed with my FixParts program; see its documentation for details. You'll probably need to run the Windows version or run it from an emergency disc like Parted Magic, though.

I dont wish to be rude- but your windows fixparts program doesn't seem very intuitive. I had downloaded the .exe and when I enter (what I think is) a device name it just comes up with a message and closes before I get a chance to read/do anything.... Feb 25, 2014 at 19:37

ordynamic
. You can get this information by runningdiscmgmt.msc
in windows. Ubuntu can't be installed in dynamic disk
