Dears,
i just bought new notebook hp G62-a45EE,
then i shrinked from C partition under windows 7 one partiton for my use 300 GB then shrinked 20 GB as unallocated space for Linux then i tried to install Fedora 13 on it after selecting language and all name, etc ...
when it come to partition selction all partitions i shrinked/created under windows 7 appears as 1 FREE block and if i take the risk to download it the below Error Msg appears:
"could not allocate requested partitons: not enough free space on disks"

also i tried ubuntu 10.4 and the same issue appears,


Note:
the new notebook pakaged with Windows 7 64 bit and was allocated in 1 partition 500 GB.

model type: HP G62-a45EE (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/me/en...9-4208125.html)

i googled for this error and it seems that the problem in SATA driver, also i can't change SATA configuration from BOIS,

below info are from windows 7 disk management:
Volume=====Layout===Type==FileSysem===Status===============Free Space
C: Simple Dynamic NTFS Healthy, boot, pagefile 65%
E: Simple Dynamic NTFS Healthy 75%
G: Simple Dynamic NTFS Healthy 14%
F: Simple Dynamic NTFS Healthy 83%
HP_Tools: Simple Dynamic FAT32 Healthy 87%
