installer crashed

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Feisty 7.04 Herd 2 i386

Attempting to install onto an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop that previously had FC6 installed on it. At first I thought maybe the FC6 LVM stuff was messing it up, so I switched over to a terminal and manually ran fdisk to remove all partitions of the HD, rebooted, but still get the same "Installer crashed" error.

today i solved this using the "GNOME partition editor" and using all the free space, first i re-partitioned the NTFS partition (win xp) and with the new free space i made one for boot, one for swap and the rest for / (root)

at this time i'm installing
