partition. However, on trying to install, the unallocated space came up designated as unusable. Going then to GParted -- it was noted only four partitions can be used, and that I had to make an extended partition to put other partitions inside of. (GParted also showed a 1MB partition of no purpose that Easeus did not show). Well, I never did that before -- create an extended partition, and I have no idea how. However, looking at my laptop, a T61, I note it has an extended partition, with two sub partitions, one for Ubuntu and one for swap. When I installed, I merely had some unallocated space, and Ubuntu made the extended partition automatically without my even knowing it. I also have a 100 MB NTFS system reserve boot, and an NTFS for Windows 7.</font></div><div style="background-color: transparent; "><font face="verdana, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style="background-color: transparent; "><font face="verdana, helvetica, sans-serif">At
