Check your Ubuntu CD. It sounds like you may have a bad disk. You may need
to re-download the ISO. How did you download it, did you use the Ubuntu
mirrors or did you use the torrent. I would highly recommend downloading it
via the torrent because it does much better CRC and error checking than http
does. Try using uTorrent (www.utorrent.com <http://www.utorrent.com/> ) or
something similar.

Subject: [QCLUG] Newbie having installation errors

 

All,

 

    I would like to know if anyone could help me with this installation
error.  I am currently running Vista and have tried to install Ubuntu 8.10
in order to dual boot.  I keep getting the following error. At 5% it says
that ext3 failed, and returns me to the partintionar. I have tried it so
that the partitioner allocates the appropriate space.  I have tried using
the whole disc, and I have even tried shrinking my current drive in vista to
free up space for Ubuntu.  I keep getting the same error.  Can anyone help.
I just would like to have Ubuntu and Vista on the same PC.  I need to keep
Vista for my wife, but if not I am willing to just have Ubuntu and get rid
of Windows all together.  Any help would be welcomed.  I live in Davenport,
and I am willing to meet at a Starbucks or Panera if anyone is interested.
Thank you in advance.
