I'm not really sure where to go from here. Please correct this from the partition menu." I tried choosing dev/sdb ATA WDCWD5000AAKS-0 (500.1 GB) and just dev/sdb1, as when I searched for my error it said to make sure the bootloader file is on the hard drive you are installing to.īoth options get the error "No root file system is defined. Underneath that table it asks for the Boot Loader file I think. From that screen I could easily see which hard drive was the correct one.
In the Ubuntu install menu I chose to manually pick the partition it installed to. The other is completely empty and I formatted it to fat32 64k which my friend told me would be better for Ubuntu. I have two internal hard drives, one already has Win 7 installed on one of its partitions. I was really looking forward to testing out Ubuntu 10.10, I have absolutely no experience with Linux. I have tried rebuilding the partition table from cmd.exe in windows and i have also tried by formating my G drive to ext3 using Easeus Partition manager in windows and then installing using wubi but wubi.exe didn't detected the partition formated to ext3. I have tried it a while ago for 11.10 and at that time it all went super smooth. I want to keep my windows 7 files and installation intact. Now the thing is that i have 4 partitions on hard disk: 1- C: 147GB (with WINDOWS 7 installed) 2- D, E which i use for file storage in windows 3- G: 19GB NTFS formatted from windows I am trying to install Ubuntu into this G drive.
Then i downloaded 11.10 version and booted into it using live USB but same error occurs there. I have tried booting from live USB and Live CD but the same error occurs. All goes well but when it restarts and installation proceeds it gives and error "No root file system defined". I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 using WUBI.exe from within windows 7.
12.04 LTS installation error "no root file system is defined"
