Ubuntu replacement
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2012 12:32 pm
I have an older machine which Ubuntu no longer supports (graphics card). This machine is dual boot windows and Ubuntu.
I have two hard drives, one for each os. When I try to do a mint install, replace Ubuntu, I get the "failed to partition the selected disk as super user. Too many primary partitions.". Since Ubuntu is already running on this machine, and I am trying to replace it, the problem does not appear to be a Linux problem with partitions. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
