I attempted to install 9.04 to dual boot with Vista, and it gave me several errors during the install, it created a 50GB partition (instead of a 230GB partition) and gave me several errors. For a while it just gave me a GRUB command line interface, asking for the kernel location. I left it for about a week and now it gave me the choice of Vista, Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.04 Recovery Mode. I booted into Vista and ran startup repair (it asked me too). Then I backed up my entire Vista partion and then booted into Ubuntu. Looking at the list of errors and the lack of a graphical interface, it seems like it failed to install most/some of the OS. I cannot install anything because some dkpg files are missing/corrupt. |

I checked if my comp was 64-bit capable and it is. I attempted to install 64bit ubuntu. |
