    Cant install Lubuntu

    I have a Ubuntu CD sent by Cononical . It runs slow because of my old computer .
    Now I have downloaded and burnt Lubuntu .
    Ubuntu Cd has an application Wubi which lets me install it inside XP .

    Lubuntu dont have that app so I have to run live CD and install from there .

    The problems arrives in 5th step when I am asked to select a partition but it says no root selected .
    So I cant install Lubuntu .

    I am a new user if you plz tell me all steps from 1 to 7 before installation

    And wubi lets me uninstall if i desire I could i uninstall without it if i wish so

    is there a wubi for lubuntu

    Seems not, but it may be possible although difficult. See this link to ubuntuforums:

    [wubi] Will Wubi support Lubuntu Beta? (Lucid) - Ubuntu Forums

    Are you selecting the Manual or Expert method to install? There should be an option to manually edit your partition table. Can you post partition information? Use the Lubuntu CD, load it and open a terminal and run the command: sudo fdisk -l(lower case Letter L) and post it here.

    Post your machine's specs here. How much RAM do you have?

    Have you created free space for Ubuntu? As yancek suggested earlier, we have to check existing partition structure of your Hard disk. Boot up from LiveCD and execute this
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    Post output here.
    [code]
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
