Being a new user and already successfully building 2 PCs, one MythTV based on Hoary Beta and one server based on Gutsy 7.1, to have this fail on my main PC is a little disappointing to say the least.

I have 2 SATA drives of 250GB ea with XP on SDA1 and wanted Ubuntu on SDA2. Don't have the expertise to manually install and configure Grub nor can I afford to end up with a PC that wont boot. Previous experience with XP attempting to repair the MBR is not good.

Agree with the previous comments, can't believe that this bug is only rated high as it ends up with a failed install. Most new users will not bother to keep trying if the install fails at 94% with a fatal error. It's reminiscent of the BSOD......
