Do I need to create partitions in advance for Kubuntu installation if I have unallocated space?

  • 772

I am working on installing Kubuntu to dual boot on a WinXP laptop.

I have 86MB Unallocated, (C:) 73GB NTFS (System), Files (D:) 175GB NTFS, and I have created 50GB Unallocated (unformated) space at the end of the HDD.

Do I need to partition and format that space in advance of the installation or will Kubuntu do this during the installation?

dual-boot

  1. Kubuntu will recognise the unallocated space and will give you the possibility during the installation to partition it further, to allow space for your swap file.
