[ubuntu-in] Unable to install Ubuntu on my laptop : Failing at disk partition resizing

[Akshay Rao]

Hi guys,

This is the saddest tragedy that cud happen to me! I have been given a Lappy in office (Lenovo T60) but i m unable to install ubuntu (For that matter any GNU/Linux) distro. (I tried Fedora, OpenSuSe, Debian, Ubuntu(all flavors available :(( ) )

Everytime it fails in disk partitioning, I cant do away with W$ :(( {Thats what i m supposed to work on for the current project i m into}

I am unable to resize the disk partition.

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

i got the following error messages :

1: OpenSuSE : Unable to resize the disk , format entire disk to install OpenSuSe
2: Ubuntu : Failed to resize disk, Unable to write partition info to disk
3: Fedora : Failed to resize hd0
4: Debian : (Sorry i dont remember the error message.)

I even tried using Ulitmate Boot Cd to resize the partition and then install Ubuntu. (That failed too)

i am unable to figure out what is the problem.

Laptop config:

1.83 GHz intel centrino duo proc,
60 GB SATA hdd,
1.5 GB ram,


Please help!

Thanks and regards,
Akshay
