Comment 24 for bug 258603

Successfully installed Ubuntu 9.04 !

Now let me elaborate. The first problem I was facing is ubiquity crashing while copying files during install. It told me that my cd or hard disk was probably bad. I knew my cd was ok as I had verified my data, as for my drive it's a brand new sony, only two days old.

So I booted Ubuntu live and made a USB start up disk. I then got past the file copy stage, and ubiquity crashed on creating new user. I realised that this probably was because of my old /home directory after reading the above posts. I then proceeded to start the install again making the /home too for formatting, along with /. Two ntfs partitions were also mounted on partitioning. Install went through like a breeze. I'll have to restore my home files form my external hard disk that's all.
