Thread: 9.10 Partitioner will not give option to partition


trying install dual boot windows xp-home edition, have 18g available free, partitioner on live cd (direct install or desktop) not give option re-partition automatically. instead partitioner on installer says there 7mb free space (but windows says 18g) , gives me 3 options;

1. erase , use entire disk "scsi2 (0,0,0) (sda) - 30.0 gb ata hitachi_dk12ea-3"
2. use largest continuous free space
3. specify partions manually

option 3 again presents disk full , not allow me proceed changing partition size.
