Re: Formating Virtual Drive
I had the same problem when I was installing wubi. I think that our problem is hard disk driver is not supported. My hard disk is TOSHIBA MK8007GAH.
Re: Formating Virtual Drive
I have a Maxtor hard drive.
So did you install Wubi eventualy?
Re: Formating Virtual Drive
I'm not sure if it is the hard disk driver. I'm on a SATA Western Digital, and am getting the same issue.
Re: Formating Virtual Drive
Same here.
I am trying to use a using a Sony Vaio VGN-S4M/S
Re: Formating Virtual Drive
Wait a little bit, you can also press alt+f4 for more feedback. Also select smaller disk images of 4-5GB or so.
Re: Formating Virtual Drive
You were right, I changed size to 4 gb and It could be installed perfectly, thanks a lot.
Re: Formating Virtual Drive
Can you try to start with a 3GB virtual drive and go up to see if there is a size that will jam the formatter? I will also create a special bulild later on with a change that might be relevant.
Re: Formating Virtual Drive
What filesystems are you installing on? NTFS or FAT? How big are the virtual drives?
Re: Formating Virtual Drive
I'm installing using Vista's NTFS, within its partition.
After changing the home drive to something smaller, and opening the verbose mode, I got the following:
May 13: bio too big device loop6 (1>0)
ext2-fs: unable to read super block
and then it would repeat but then with ext3-fs, and again, for reiserfs but then this:
resiserfs:loop6:wargning:sh-2006 reads super-block: bread failed (dev[?]loop6, block 2, size 4096)
and one like
init starting pid 8467 console /dev/tty1/ '/bin/sh'
udevd:delete_path rmdir (/dev/.udev/failed) failed
read-only file system
Now I'm not totally certain what all of this means, but this is happening within the formattting process.
