I saw some one else who had problems with the filesystem. I'm dualbooting with WinXP MCE. I Partioned my second hd with SystemRescueCD, becasue I in the beginning got errors when trying to partion. I partioned like this:

/boot - 100mb ext3
swap - 2500mb linux-swap
/ - 5500mb reiserfs
/home - ~246,9gb reiserfs

Thanks for your report. At present, you must reformat system partitions (e.g. /, /boot, /usr, or /var) during installation; the fact that the partitioner doesn't warn you about this is also bug 47046, and is fixed in dapper-updates. If you are upgrading an existing installation, then please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades rather than using this installer.
