I am very new to ubuntu. I have tried hardy heron a few months ago, until the boot file mysteriously disappeared. I have just been using my Vista partition since, but my bootmenu at the beginning still lists both Ubuntu and Vista.

I decided to give it another shot with a LiveCD. Everything was going well until the partitioning step. I choose the "guide" one (which designated 74% to Vista and 24% to Ubuntu), and it stays at 0% progress until I get an error message and the partitioning stage is aborted.

Does anybody have any ideas as to why it wont partition? Thanks
