Hello, I am re-installing ubuntu from a liveUSB (keeping the same '/home' rewriting '/').
The install program has looped at the 'Running post-installation trigger update-notifier-common' point. At this point I am just leaving it looping. It should be noted that my wireless driver has never been natively supported and I have always needed to run it through ndiswrapper. At the start of the install it asked me to unmount my HDD, I could get you the exact driver/card if it would be ok to either kill this install OR safely mount my HDD at this point.
This is a windows dual boot, but that was months ago, this isnt the first dual boot install (in fact windows was installed second, a pain in the rear).
Output from install GUI:

One extra note:

This is my second re-install attempt today. The first one worked flawlessly (I think) and the only difference is, I didn't check the 'install third party programs' radio button on the first install. Unfortunately I also did not tell the first install attempt that sda1 was supposed to be the /boot which meant the MBR wasnt where it should have been hence this second install.
