i am having HP 520 laptop with 1.6gz Dual processor, 2gb RAM,80 gbHDD with 5partitons... i already have vista in C:/...and have reserved D:/ of 15gb for Linux....
i went through (www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96132) thread for installing....
while installing the setup it prompted me that i can not create new partition by the Linux partitioner....
and so i divide my partition of 15gb to 11gb and 4 gb through windows ....
11gb for ext3 and 4gb for swap...and again started the setup....
so without creating partition i formatted 11gb( with ext3)and mounted /. and formatted 4gb with(swap) and mounted remaining windows partition.....
finally the setup started installing....
while it was setting the boot loader an Error was prompted as....
Error occurred while installing GRUB...
GNU GRUB version 0.97(640klower/3072k upper memory)
-------
grub>setup --stage2 = /boot/grub/stage2(hd0,1)(hd0,1)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
grub>quit
i even tried to install with live cd but same error was prompted....
then i even ignored mounting windows partition..... and carried the same installation but again same error was prompted......
plz help me out ....i m quit excited about Linux.....
even when i tried to install XP in my laptop, setup prompts that no hard drive was detected......
