No worries. I tried with the image http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu /daily-live/current/oneiric-desktop-i386.iso synchronized with zsync Tue Oct 4 20:40:01 CST 2011
To be sure, I also create a completely new disk for this test. Interestingly, the installer crashed when it was almost done, but I have not had any opportunity to investigate that further. However, I figured the disks had already been partitioned, so I started a live session and ran sfdisk. The result is listed below (Note I installed on /dev/sdb, the second drive): I also attach the definition file for the virtual machine, in case it helps. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo sfdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 1958 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary.
