Comment 83 for bug 568050

Thanks, Jeremy, I am looking after it failed to create the file system.

The screen says, Ready to instal (step 8 of 8)l:

If you continue, the changes listed below will be written to the disks.
Otherwise, you will be able to make further changes manually.

The partition tables of the following devices are changed:
 Serial ATA RAID isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 (mirror)

The following partitions are going to be formatted:
 partition #5 of Serial ATA RAID isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 (mirror) as ext4
 partition #6 of Serial ATA RAID isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 (mirror) as swap

I clicked on advanced and turned off install the boot loader (I have tried it both ways).
Then I clicked install.

I got this message: The ext4 file system creation in partition #5 of Serial ATA RAID isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0 (mirror) failed.

OK. Now I see the ps.

I made the links and clicked install. I set the boot loader to load in isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0

A few seconds later the entire installer seems to have completely disappeared.

After waiting about 15 minutes, I had a look at gparted. It still lists the 339.01 GB that is not part of windows as unallocated.

Does this raise any new thoughts for you? I appreciate your help. Would I be better served by going to Ubuntu 9.10?

Thanks,
Herb
