Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installer crashed during grub-installer while attempting to install along side Windows 7. Formated a 160GB drive to split evenly between windows and Linux at the very end of the install it crashed the grub-installer because it was try to direct it to a Unallocated 750GB drive that has not been set up yet. This is the second attempt installing alongside windows. The 160GB drive had NTFS file system then during the installation of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I used the Installer to Format the drive to use 80GB as NTFS and 80 as EXT4. I am using AMD x64 processor with Windows 7 Pro 64 on the drive. If any more information is needed you can contact me via email.
