when I want to install a dual system, namely winxp and Ubuntu, in the fourth step, the install wizard of Ubuntu can not read the partition table at all and the the table is completely blank.
when I use the command to see the table, namely, #fdisk /dev/sda -ls
it reads as follows:
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# fdisk /dev/sda -ls
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Note: I used to have Fedora installed on my laptop and I want to remove it.
I am waiting on line!!!
