Bug Description

i 've installed ubuntu up to a "tatoo " windows 7 computer ... thus it can't start , i keep use the boot cd , ubuntu 11.10 , to use live session and i see that in each temptation to install the whole it prevents me about a already installed ubuntu os but can restart with it only . How to open a root session and make the whole system start in the sd1 partition , and it seems me lot of files have copied in the sd3 wich is allowed to documents . my common table of partition is 10 Go ( ubuntu ) ; 10 Go ( windows , to be installed ) , 139Go ( documents , with lot of files that seems me system"s one ) and 1 go for swap .
