Are you using auto install or manual install so you can install Kubuntu over the Ubuntu install? Otherwise it may not be able to add another partition.
Post this:
sudo fdisk -lu
I actually fixed this before I got a chance to fulfill your request. Here's the workaround I used to solve the problem.
I grabbed my Ubuntu (64) disk and installed it alongside Windows 7 (which went off without a hitch again). I used the auto-install to do this. I did not manually change any partitions during install. The installer partitioned the free space on my drive and set everything in order.
After Ubuntu was up and running I typed the following into the command line and selected kdm as my dm:
Code:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get autoremove
I chose KDE as my desktop and voila, I'm running Kubuntu (64). I honestly don't know why the Kubuntu installer wouldn't work for me. It's odd because the Ubuntu installer worked with no issues whatsoever. I would think that if Windows 7 (64) had already taken up 4 partitions on the drive, then the Ubuntu installer wouldn't have been able to handle it either, but that wasn't the case.
If you'd like I can still run the command and post the results.
