Howdy Folks,
I've been having a whale of a time trying to install ubuntu alonside Windows 7. So far I've tried 11.04 (kUbuntu and Ubuntu) and 10.04. The common problem to them all is that the installer thinks I have no hard drive space. If I dig in a bit more, I think the problem is that it thinks I have no.. hard drive. In first page of the installation preparation wizard the line: '4.1 Gb drive space' has a nice big X in front of it.
Currently I have windows 7 installed on a raid 5 (nvidia fakeraid) and I would like to install ubuntu alongside it.
