Similar problem with Hardy Beta migration assist. No Forward button and no option to continue but C-A-Bsp which yields same as Cancel. Cancel produces a CD live user install that attempts to complete the Wubi install process at each subsequent boot and fails at the same point. Tried Wubi+Hardy Daily Alternate iso but that never finishes building the swap.disk and has to be terminated by taskmaster and removed. (ubuntu disks folder shows boot folder, shared folder, root.disk and usr.disk)
Config is i386 Windows 2k on Primary Master, Gutsy 7.10 on Primary Slave (I know but there are reasons) both are independent and accessible only via BIOS at boot. (non Dual-boot config)
Hardy attempt to install is to Primary slave empty FAT32 partition (logical).
Primary slave config: (250Gig)
sdb1 - system (20Gig)
sdb2 - home (5Gig)
sdb3 - swap (2Gig) (1.5 gig RAM)
sdb4 - extended
    sdb5 - ext2 70Gig
    sdb6 - Fat32 (15 for Hardy rest for share with windoz)
    sdb7 - Fat32 share with windoz 70Gig.
forcing the install never gets past step 4 of 6, (attempting to prepare /dev/sda1 partition).
Problem installing to Fat32?? why? will be very common need I think.
