Probable FiX..........

problem:
My ubuntu 14.04 installer restarted when i clicked install along side windows.
after some research i wanted to check it i could reproduce it in 12.04, and yes my installer restarted when i clicked install along side windows.
I think it is the same case with Linux Mint 16 as sangeet khatri reported.

Solution:
Ubuntu does not support dynamic disks, please recheck if ur disk is dynamic, and convert it to basic disk.

to minimise data loss,

i created a new ext 4 partition with gparted and installed ubuntu 14.04 there.(gparted only makes Basic disks).
grub was not installed.
so i reinstalled the grub using live cd.

I am posting this from my new ubuntu 14.04..... ;)
