    STILL Can't install

    Hey, I am trying to install Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy, and I was planning to re-size the Partition, and keep windows. I set the Re-sized partition to the lowest possible, which was for me, 49%. I then clicked next, and after about 5 minutes, a message came up, saying:

    "An Error Occurred While Writing To The Storage Devices, The Re-size Operation Was Aborted"

    This isn't the first time this has Happened, and it's really annoying me now, what can i do to stop this from happening?

    I do have My HD split into two partitions, one for my main, and a 10GB one for system recovery, and My system Specs are:

    EI systems 485,
    Windows XP SP2,
    1GB Ram,
    80GB Hard Drive,
    ATI Express 200 GFX card,
    1X CD-ROM Drive

    If anyone can help, Many thanks in advance.

    Call me hyper paranoid, but I always use either the bootable gparted at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php or partedmagic http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMa...agic.Downloads disc to repartition my hard drive - simply don't trust those in-built devices... Although they are just fdisk front ends and should work fine :P

      Yeah, i sorted it now, just deleted my recovery partition, and installed it on that.

      Thanks for helping anyway.
