partitions problem: no root file system

[lauthiamkok]

I am on 40BG hda with Celeron PC.

And I have a primary partition 15GB for Windows XP. I intend to use the rest for Kubuntu.

I intend to divide it into:

10BG for root
11BG for home
2 for swap

which I did. but when I click the button to contitue it says,

No root file systme

which I dont understand. I am stuck at this stage. Please let me know what I should do about it.

Re: partitions problem: no root file system

You probably didn't select a partition type. just highlite the line and hit enter to select which type.

10GB is a lot for /root. You could easily cut that in half and give the other half to /home for file storage or format it as /fat to share with windows.
