How do I install UBUNTU using something else option
Steps to follow after choosing something else option while installing Ubuntu:-
Step 1: When you chose something else and click on Continue, something like the following screen will show up:
In the above window, first ntfs partition is the Windoze native partition and second is the free space. In your case, if you don't see any free space, then you can create one by deleting free partition in your desired hard disk. You can make sure which hard disk you have selected under “Device for boot loader installation”. Your ubuntu bootloader will be installed in this hard disk drive.
Step 2: Now, after freeing up the required space, you can add partitions for root directory by clicking on “Add” in the above window.
The below screen will show up when you click on “Add”:
Now, select as shown in this picture by giving your desired space for ubuntu root directory. The “/” symbol always indicates the root directory in GNU/Linux systems.
Then click OK.
This will create a new partition for the root directory.
Step 2a: Now, again click on “Add” and create a swap area. This can be done by selecting swap in the drop down menu of “Use as:” in the above window.
Always the swap partition size should be the double of your RAM size. So if your RAM is 1GB then swap would be 2GB.
Then click OK.
Step 3: The above steps will result in the Install window as shown below:
Here it shows that /dev/sda1 is your Windoze partition. /dev/sda2 is your new root partition. And /dev/sda3 is your SWAP space.
Once you are happy with the changes you have made, click “Install now” and proceed to the next step.
From next step, it'll be usual installation which may show up “Where are you?” window to know the location and so on.
