Kubuntu locks at partition install section.

[forcesofhabit]

Kubuntu won't go anywhere at step 5 of 6. Is there any other way to install from the CD?

Thanks!

Re: Kubuntu locks at partition install section.

Are you using the Live CD version ? If so, have you tried downloading the 'alternate CD' version and trying with it ?

Also, did you md5sum the downloaded ISO image *before* you burned it to CD, and also did you md5sum check the burned ISO image on the CD ? Is the CD scratched or cracked or anything ?

I ordered the CD by mail.
Any other suggestions?

I found that the installer got stuck too.
After creating the partitions and writing them to disk, it failed to progress so I couldn't allocate mount points.

I rebooted and started again from scratch, and second time round it recognised the new partitions and allowed me to set mount points on them.

I had the same problem with the live cd and the alternative.

What worked for me was defragging the hard drive in windows, after that it worked perfectly, no problem
