I am a beginner so please explain in plain english. I am trying to install ubuntu 12.10 from a bootable usb. I already have windows 7 installed on my hard drive. The partitioning is as the pic above. When i click install it gives the following error :
The partition /dev/sda5 assigned to / starts at an offset of 2048 bytes from the minimum alignment for this disk, which may lead to very poor performance.
i have read over the forums about this error but i dont understand what they are trying to say. One of them said to try the following command : sudo fdisk -lu
the result are as follows :
And i dont understand it...
Any help will be appreciated.
