Similar scenario to mine; I'm trying a dual boot for the first time.i have winXP 64 on there now; its taking 150GB out of 250 and its NTFS. the remaining 100GB was intended for ubuntu. Now i'm trying to install FeistyFawn. I've tried EdgyEft a couple times by restarting the computer with the image disc in the bootable drive but the screen turns black and white and just stops. Tonight, when i tried Feisty, the computer re-booted but i wasn't around to select any of the boot options, so the default one just booted from disk. So i tried to install from there and it failed on step 5 or 6. Seems like the installer should allow for another OS to be there...

I hope i don't have to re-install the windows...
