Hi there,

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 a couple months back without error, but now that I want to reinstall it on the same computer (minus one RAM stick), it fails as soon as it hits the scanning disks part of the Partitioner after I set Swap Space. I reaaaallllyy don't want to reinstall XP, but if that's what it boils down to I can.

I love Ubuntu. So fast and easy and less scary than Windows. I'd love to have it back.

As a side note, I know WINE can port some Windows games into a useable Linux file, but are there any applications or whatnot to port larger games from Windows to Linux, IE: Final Fantasy XI?

Thanks guys (And girls)!

Why are you reinstalling 8.04? Is it not running like it should?

I'm trying to reinstall it because I've been running Windows OS for the most part rather than Ubuntu. Ubuntu hasn't been on my computer for a fairly long time.
