Ubuntu 6.10 Installation Problem - Assigning Mount Points

[crashputer]

I have a 80 GB IDE and a 120GB SATA hard drive in my system. The 80 GB drive is divided in to 20 and 60 GB NTFS partitions. The SATA drive is divided in to 2 GB swap, 10 GB root, and the rest /home. /home and / are ext3 and swap (obviously) is swap.

I attempted to do a clean install of version 6.10 x86. I used the custom partition method since I do not want to alter my partition tables. When I set my mount points it gives an error that I can not mount NTFS drives within the filesystem, that I should mount them under /media. I previously had them set as /xp and /vista, but I attempted to reassign their mount points to /media/xp and /media/vista. I still got the error. After several attempts I disconnected the 80 GB hard drive and attempted to install again. With only EXT3 and swap partitions available, I still received the error.

System info:
Intel Celeron 2.6 GHz
MSI 865PE Neo2-V motherboard
1 GB RAM
80 GB IDE
120GB SATA

I have been able to install each of the newer releases without any issues. The bug appears to have been corrected.
