Hello, Well I will try to explain what I did, bud I not a advance user and my English is not so well, so please excuse me.
First let me explain that at this point I have installed ubuntu 9.04 64 bits edition successful, but I had to try to installed several times with the same error, I also try installing 32 bits version with the same error, so I notice that maybe I was doing something wrong in the installation. Before I tried to install Ubuntu and had this errors, I had installed ubuntu 9.04 64bits edition installed with wubi, from windows xp, but I wanted to install ubuntu on a exclusive partition, so I make a partition ext 3, and use LVPM to migrated the previus installation in windows to the partition ext3. I only had to modify the menu.lst file to work propertly, and I had ubuntu on a exclusive partition. But with the incoming realease of ubuntu 9.10, I wanted to be ready for the instalation, so I managed to make and new partition and move /home to the new partition. Now when I have installed ubuntu 9.04 64 bits edition propertly, I did realized that the problem was that I didn't marked the home partition to be formated, and when the instalation finish coping the files and try to proceed with the instalation detect that already was a information of the /home and aborted the instalation or just can't continue with it. I hope this can help you understand what happend, and please let me know if you need something else.
