windows install problem

[kyty]

I tried to install ubuntu 8.04 on winda professional. On the first attempt the install picked up my winda user name and I used it for installation. I also went with the 15 GB installation space. That attempt failed -- when I booted to Ubuntu, an error message appeared saying that I provided an empty password (which was not true). That message just would not go away regardless of the number of times I closed the error box.

Then (given my natural stubbornness) I tried to install again. This time I provided a new user name and the same password and requested 30 GB installation space. It paid well.

I wish this project all the best. winda, though, gets to live another day.

Did it actually work the second time? Any "strange" char in your password/username?

Yes, it worked well on the second attempt.  There were US locale alphanumeric chars only in my log-in.

I would need further information on how to reproduce the first incident

[kyty (comp4net)]

I don't have any.
