Thanks, Jeremy, I am looking after it failed to create the file system. The screen says, Ready to instal (step 8 of 8)l:
If you continue, the changes listed below will be written to the disks. Otherwise, you will be able to make further changes manually. The partition tables of the following devices are changed: Serial ATA RAID isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 (mirror) The following partitions are going to be formatted: partition #5 of Serial ATA RAID isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 (mirror) as ext4 partition #6 of Serial ATA RAID isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 (mirror) as swap I clicked on advanced and turned off install the boot loader (I have tried it both ways). Then I clicked install. I got this message: The ext4 file system creation in partition #5 of Serial ATA RAID isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 (mirror) failed. OK. Now I see the ps. I made the links and clicked install. I set the boot loader to load in isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 A few seconds later the entire installer seems to have completely disappeared. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 320 2010-05-16 13:18 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4100 2010-05-16 13:14 .. crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 59 2010-05-16 00:18 control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 0 2010-05-16 13:14 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2010-05-16 13:17 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume01 -> isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2010-05-16 13:17 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume02 -> isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2010-05-16 13:17 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume03 -> isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2010-05-16 13:18 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume04 -> isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2010-05-16 13:18 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume05 -> isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2010-05-16 13:18 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume06 -> isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 1 2010-05-16 13:14 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 2 2010-05-16 13:14 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 3 2010-05-16 13:14 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 4 2010-05-16 13:14 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 5 2010-05-16 13:14 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 6 2010-05-16 13:14 isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0p6 /target has only etc and media r...@ubuntu:/dev/mapper# ls -al /target total 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 2010-05-16 13:20 . drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 360 2010-05-16 13:20 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 2010-05-16 13:20 etc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 2010-05-16 13:20 media After waiting about 15 minutes, I had a look at gparted. It still lists the 339.01 GB that is not part of windows as unallocated. Does this raise any new thoughts for you? I appreciate your help. Would I be better served by going to Ubuntu 9.10?
