    Why is that only 2.2GB appears as my memory upon partitioning process when my hard disk is 40GB upon installing Ubuntu? Does that mean I have a hard disk problem? Because of that, I cannot proceed to auto-partiotioning and forced to customize partition which always result to failure of Ubuntu installation. What do you think is the problem?

    So while partitioning you only see 2.2GB as the size of your harddrive? I've never heard of that happening before. Do you have any other OSes installed?
