swap partition creation fails

[gustavokun]

I was trying to install ubuntu after downloaded and installed wubi
when attempting to install hardy heron, it fails during swap space creation showing the message "The creation of swap space in partition #1 of /hos/ubuntu/disk/swap.disk failed"
Then it goes to guided partitioning and displays the error box "??? ???" (clik ok)
I'm running on a hp pavillion dv2660us

This might happen if your filesystem is very fragmented. Please
uninstall, defgrament, install again and let us know whether it works
or not.

I think it's not the case because it was being installed on a brand new notebook. I uninstalled it and tried again around 4 times and had always the same problem.
I had to install gutsy gibon and then upgrade to hardy, but direct installing of hardy never worked.

I don't have that notebook anymore so i can't try it again
