Hi,
Im new to linux (other than trying a few live CDs) and me and my dad where wanting to install Linux alongside windows, I followed instructions on a fw webpages for both flavours but got stuck at the same exavt point, when the instructions tell me to select the "free space" that was made (prep for shrink) for the Linux OS to go on, it doesnt show the free space on ANY drive... it shows free space 1MB at the top of the System drive list and 0MB at the bottom of that drive list, unfortunately im unable to supply a screenshot, there is no "install alongside windows" option that other pages have said there should be?
can anyone please help as at the moment the only way I can see to install it is directly onto a drive overwriting whats on it.
thanks
