Asked by jim rennie

Chose to install ubuntu 10.10 64 bit version along side windows 7. after installer partitioned the drive and was finishing the install. the install just stoped and locked up.

you can go into windoze and delete the partition.

on the file you download, did you do an md5sum check to make sure it's not corrupt?

type can google "ubuntu md5sum check" for instructions on how to do an md5sum check.
