[orca-list] The Partitioner In The Latest Version of Ubuntu

["EARL ZWICKER" <e zwicker sympatico ca>]

Hi all, I'm new to this list, and I'm hoping to get some good information 
from all of you out there.  I installed the latest version of Ubuntu last 
week, and it seemed like all was well.  Yesterday, I had to reformat my 
computer though, and I've now run into problems.  I have put windows xp pro 
on my c drive, and when I tried to install ubuntu, it came back with an 
error message when I tried to choose the guided option to resize my c drive 
and install ubuntu.  It took me into the manual partitioner, but I couldn't 
figure out exactly how to use it.  Is it even usable with Orca?  Since it 
won't let me install ubuntu on my c drive for some reason, I want to install 
to the d drive.  The problem is, I have a partition of stuff on the d drive, 
that I really don't want to lose.  Is it possible for me to use the 
partioner without sighted help, and accomplish what I want to accomplish?  
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am very knew to ubuntu and Orca, 
so step-by-step instructions would be helpful.

Thanks

Earle
