When I attempt to install windows XP on an Ubuntu host, I get to the part to where it asks where XP should be installed. But the only choice it gives me is the partition where Ubuntu is installed. I have C: and a D: partitions, both formated with win32, but they do not show up.

I would like to install XP in either of them, but how to make them visible?

Thanks, José

look up createrawvmdk in the UG and in the forum for discussions on how to do this.

Many thanks for your answer.

I looked at the suggestions you gave, and at various references, including ones I found on
Google.

But I am afraid that I am too new to this to understand how to do what must be done. It looks too easy to make a mess of things.

So I guess I will have to put the matter on the shelf for now.

But thanks anyway.

José
