Partition Trouble Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon
I am attempting to install gutsy gibbon om my 120 GB HD. The Hard Disk has no errors. The CDs too got no errors, it was shipped by Canonical. But it just hangs after the third step of installation after choosing the keyboard layout.
The Box "Starting up the partitioner" comes and the progress bar stays at 46% for ever. No movement again. I am able to exit and resume using the OS again but not installation. Tried formatting the HD using windows, but of no use. The HD's healthy. Can someone help?
Its a 120 GB HD and I have formated it using the Disk Management Utility in Windows xp....
Its like this
Volume 1 - Primary Partition - 10 GB - NTFS
Volume 2 - Primary partition - 4 GB - NTFS
Volume 3 - Primary Partition - 24 GB - NTFS
Volume 4 - Extended Partition - Rest of the Space containing 3 Logical Drives
Unpartitioned Space 8 MB for Windows Partition Information.
Also, tried to open Partition Editor in Ubuntu.....
The partition editor ( Gparted) in Ubuntu is just opening up and then the progress bar is moving and nothing happens....
No sound or anything....
I thought maybe its taking a bit long time, but it just went on for 5 hours without getting the info...
Similarly the progress bar during installation hangs up at 46% and does not go further....
The Ubuntu disk is in good condition...
I have used it to install Ubuntu in another System.....
And my Hard Disk too seems to be healthy.....
It passed all the self diagnostic tests.....
I tried deleting all the partitions and partitioning using ubuntu, but that too is not working.....
I tried installing Ubuntu after formating the HD with one primary, rest extended....
then, 2 primary, rest extended.....
Then No partition.....
then just one primary, rest unpartitioned.....
And its still not working.....
