hi manish
firstly you need to understand in win format there one primary partition
which called c:\ one extended partion on which logical drives are made in
your case d: e: f:
while installing linux you require whole extended partition. means all you
drive-data except c:\ will be lost
you'll have to create a linux partion from the extended partition and rest
fat partition usin using linux fdisk or disk druid.
then again reformat the other dos partition you made in diskdruid.
bye
take care
manas
