My dad woke me up this morning so that i'll install kubuntu on his lenovo laptop running vista.
Booted up the hardy live cd, started installation, repartitioned/reformated everything to ext3 so i got rid of vista, but at 94% i got a fatal error about grub not being able to install. Tried again, same error.
Reinstalled without grub but then i couldn't load the OS.
Googled and played around looking for a solution.
Running the live cd, i tried fdisk -l in the terminal as seen that there was an extra small NTFS partition that was first on the hdd, as sda1, that was otherwise hidden in the kubuntu partitioner; wtf?! thought my root is hda1...
So i actually reinstalled making a <b>new allocation for the whole hdd</b> and rebuilding the partitions once again, installation run smooth this time! Everything looks as it should now in fdisk -l
I have found an workaround for this problem!
