In preparation for a Linux install, I used gParted to split my disk into two parts and created a logical partition on my laptop so that I could install Linux on the second partition. The issue is, the installer gives the following three options:
1) use entire disk
2) set-up along side Windows 7
3) other (manual installation)
I don't want to use option one as it will erase my Win7. I tried to use option 2 but what happens is that the installer wants to shrink my Win7 partition instead of using the 2nd partition. The only way to use my 2nd partition is for me to choose option three but then the installer expects me to manually setup the partitions.
Has anyone had this issue? Is there a way to force the installer to use the 2nd partition? Or do I have to Google on how to manually set up the partitions using the second half of the disk?
