Topic: Invalid File system for this mount point
Hello,
I am completely new to linux and am trying to use the gparted bundled with ubuntu to install. This will be a dual boot with XP and I have the following partitions I am trying to set
/dev/hda1 fat16
/dev/hda2 ntfs (both of these are pre-existing from xp)
/dev/hda3 fat32 15Gb
/dev/hda4 is the extended part
hda5 is /swap fat32 3GB
hda6 is /tmp fat32 10GB
hda7 is /var fat32 10GB
hda8 is /home *invalid* 15GB
hda9 is /shared ntfs 90GB
when it gets to the hda8 it stops and gives me "Invalid file system for this mount point"
I have tried fat32 and ext3 for hda8 and the error is the same each time. Any help you can give sorting this out would be great.
