I've previously used Ubuntu. Older version, now I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my other laptop. after a serious amounts of troubles, finally got there. its been 1-2 hours and it seems to be stuck at Creating ext4 file system for/in partitian #8 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sdb)... Now, I've looked at other posts, a few explained it might be the CD was created badly. I'm installing from a USB, but the same problem could be.
I haven't tried Restarting, b/c at other posts I have read I should wait... Since it's worth the waiting which is true, but how long should I wait? Should I restart my laptop and re-try Installing Ubuntu? OH, and if it was indeed a corrupt or wrongly created file or something, wouldn't it show me an Error message by now? That's what it did with the previous USB.
PS, I'm a technotard, so if you have a solution please try simplifying it to the maximum.
