Hello,
I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my system yesterday evening (night actually). However, I failed to complete the installation. All I got was a error notification box (the red X symbol) with a bunch of question marks in it: "??? ???".
I have win7 installed on the drive that I want to install Ubuntu, and since the drive has only one partition (which houses win7 and is the partition that boots) I selected the option to "...run along side..." and moved the slider in order create a new linux partition (about 20Gb) on that drive.
However, when the partitioning was done and I was about to select my timezone when I got the error...
I had no choice but to click OK and the installation process jumped back to the first screen/phase. Any ideas? I mean, there isn't much that can go wrong here, is there? A win7 on one big partition...
I also tied to create the partitions manually (\, \home, swap) but then the installation just hangs at the text "
ready when you are". Here I just got to select my timezone and keyboard layout (it hangs on the keyboard layout, so it is not the uppercase-login-name-error).
I installed from a USB-stick. 64-bit.
Please help, I really want to get going with this dual booting thing.
Thanks.
