Hi all,

I have a Samsung N120 netbook (with upgraded 2GB RAM). I'm trying to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but when I set my partitions, I get an error. The setup I want right now is:

  • Recovery Partition - 6 GB
  • Windows XP Home Partition - 40 GB
  • General Partition - remaining space
  • UNR Partition - 40 GB

I am told that I need to resize a partition and it will take a while. However, when it nearly starts, I get an ERROR!!! dialog that says, "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 - Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting."

I'm not too sure what I should do right now... any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
