cannot install ubuntu

continuation from this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17908744

i cannot install linux at all, with the live CD, i get into it but when i click install i get as far as partitioner with all options blanked out so i cannot do anything and i cannot continue.


there is free space, it was formatted into linux filesystem and ntfs, either way the result is the same, i cannot install linux at all

how am i suppose to install this when there is no option to do so, manually?

i'll give that a go my last try is to have a partition which is unformatted... if that doesnt work i'll give that a go..

although why it doesnt work makes absolutely sense, obviously it doesnt detect any of the 3 seperate hard drives i have..

and if i put in ubuntu disk in windows it gives an option to install it "like any other program" which is the description that wubi page is saying, whats the difference?

The first command makes you root ( "Administrator" ).
The second command lists all the partitions, on all disks that are detected.

Paste the results here, please.

thanks

i clicked take screenshot of current window not entire desktop but it didnt listen!

bah i put -1 instead of -l

this is what comes up

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo su
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# fdisk -l
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu#

so its not detected? gave it a google and found nothing of use
