Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

ubuntu wants to partition my hard drive, but I don't understand the gobblygook it asks, it needs to be in everyday language for us noobs.
Trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit along side my XP Pro.
Step 3 and 4 I can't get past, The last time I suceeded, it gave my Vista the wrong size partition.
