Stacked at 33%

I am trying to install Ubuntu with the Wubi installer.
The windows part goes with no errors. The Ubuntu installation is being copied from the site and I am being asked if I want to reboot now or later. I reboot, I chose Ubuntu from the screen and then I wait. I get to the point were it says that the applications are being copied and after that it says that the virtual drive is being formatted and that this may take some time. The process bar goes almost immediately to 33% and then nothing. It stays at 33% without moving. I waited for about 15 minutes and it was still 33%.

Anyone know what could be the problem?

I had the same problem when I was installing wubi. I think that our problem is hard disk driver is not supported. My hard disk is TOSHIBA MK8007GAH.

I have a Maxtor hard drive.
So did you install Wubi eventualy?

I'm not sure if it is the hard disk driver. I'm on a SATA Western Digital, and am getting the same issue.

Wait a little bit, you can also press alt+f4 for more feedback. Also select smaller disk images of 4-5GB or so.

You were right, I changed size to 4 gb and It could be installed perfectly, thanks a lot.

Can you try to start with a 3GB virtual drive and go up to see if there is a size that will jam the formatter? I will also create a special bulild later on with a change that might be relevant.

Anybody tried the above? I'd like to debug the issue, but I need more info (since I cannot reproduce that on my system).

What filesystems are you installing on? NTFS or FAT? How big are the virtual drives?
