[Ilugc] HDD paritition for Ubuntu 5.10

[Dhanagopal Rengasamy]

Hi
 
In my system I proceeded to install ubuntu 5.10 in a 10gb FAT32 partition which is empty (no data).The installer proceeded upto Parition disk stage. 
I Choose Manually edit partition table option. 
The next screen showed the existing 
IDE1 Master (hda)- 40 gb ............
It did not list the already existing
 
 C:    NTFS(10),
 D:    FAT(10)
 E:    FAT(10), 
        ext3(MDK) and swap(10)
partitions. I was a little scared. So I stopped proceeding furhter and rebooted.
 
I did expect that will list all the existing partitions in the hdd So that I can choose the empty fat partition and create ext3 file system with / mount point to proceed the installation. 
Will it list the partitions if I select the HDD listed and enter once again? Should I delete FAT32 partition first before creating ext3? 
 
Please clarify.
