[ale] HELP! Installing Linux over Windows

[Robert Coggins]

Did you have any unused space on the HDD?  As unused I mean disk space not
assigned under a partition.  If not there is a good chance using the
automatic partition removed all the partitions and installed over them.
However there is not a 100% chance of this...  I recommend going to the
hardware browser and looking at the hard disks and see if you see a NTFS or
FAT partition.  I believe the command for this is hwbrowser...  Good Luck!

Rob
