I'm preparing to install Lubuntu on my laptop.

I have already got stuck once, because apparently my system created two partitions (one recovery and the other I have no idea) and then I had C: and D: in Windows. So I couldn't create a new partition for Linux.

To remedy this, I removed the D: partition. My question is: will be able to install Lubuntu with all the partitions like /, /home and /swap?

Thank you.

Yes,you only need one primary partition to install Lubuntu.Rest all partition you can create during the installation process according to your requirement.But make sure you have sufficient large primary partition in which you are planning to install.If you need any more details specific to your problem,share a screenshot of your disk management.

You will only need 2 partitions for Linux. One for the Linx OS and one for Swap.

The /home folder doesn't have to be on separate partitions. It wouldn't hurt, but by default it's not.

You can use Gparted from the Install disk to edit your partition sizes. If you have a large space you can use Gparted to create an extended partition. The space in the extended partition becomes un-allocated space of which you can create any number of partitions.

So, basically you can partition the drive the way you want it. Then on the install pick the "Something Else" for the install option. Then you'll have a choice of specifying where you want Linux installed. Pick the partition that you created for this install.
