Forward Button is Grey when Installing

[RadShad]

When I try to install Ubuntu 10.10, it gives me a grey forward button after clicking and does not advance. I tried and waited a while, no deal. I tried doing install of 64 bit and 32 bit but still no deal, it always gets stuck at this part. Also doing a USB install.

It doesn't show it but the mouse is in thinking mode and spinning.

any help?

RadShad,

I have seen this when the current partition layout on your disk does not allow more partitions to be added.

To check this (and walk you through fixing it), would you please:

Boot off the live CD, Select 'try', then:

In the Terminal (Menu to: Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal), please run this command: (the -'l' is a lower case 'L')

sudo fdisk -l
Then copy the text from the output and paste it into your next post.

Here you are :D

It's all good now. I got past that part and I don't know how but it is installed :D

I am happy it installed.

I, too, don't quite know how it happened, but I suppose it doesn't matter.

You are running Ubuntu - and that is what we both wanted.
