I am referring to the mount point drop down menu.
The blank space of the mount point drop down menu can not be typed in. I am editing the listing for the windows install to have the mount point /windows (/dos and /windows were the only 2 options - the mount point drop box blank could not be typed in.) I am creating the linux partition with primary, ext4, checked box to format, mount point of / which I understand is root. I am creating the swap partition with primary, swap, and no mount point could be selected. I am creating the shared partition with logical, Fat32, and /dos (I tried a mounting point of /windows and recieved an error saying that the first partition(windows) and the last partition(shared) had the same mount point and that I needed to change mount points. So I changed it to the only other choice available in the mount point drop box /dos. The xp partition has not been formatted. The 11.04 is a fresh install all the former 9.10 partitions were removed.

As I recall, when you click the down arrow to the right of the Mount Point box, the top space is blank and below that you have options such as:
/, /usr,/var and probably several others. Move your mouse to the blank space and click and you should have an empty box in which you can type. Quote:

Try selecting the blank space as I indicated above. It's always worked for me. Then you can put the name you want. It's common practice to mount data partitions in the /mnt directory so you could enter: /mnt/data or whatever you want. You could put the data partition in the root of the filesystem by entering: /data |
