I have a Dell M1330 , with a standard (dell) Vista home premium on it. I tried installing ubuntu 8.10 64bit and got stuk in exactly the same spot (resizing 0%) . On rebooting , my vista had to do a chkdsk. If I tried installing after the error occured without starting vista and running chkdsk. No partitions were detected anymore.
My wife has the same laptop , only I installed HArdy on that one a few months ago without any problems. Should I go with a fresh Hardy install and then imediatly upgrade it ?
