I've got a Dell Inspiron 15. I've successfully installed Windows 7, but when I came to install Ubuntu 12.04LTS, I got to the partition section, and it freaked out: it refused to offer me option to partition the disk. In the end, I went into Windows and used it's partioner instead. I then tried again to install U12.04, and this time it gave me the option to install Ubuntu next to Windows - but then it ended up erroring, and refusing to go any further. That's when it asked me to supply you with this bug report.
Pretty frustrated right now.
