Stuck at 98%

[KUCody]

Yeah so im a long time Windows user coming over to Linux and someone tole me about Kubuntu.

What my problem is when im running the installer it gets stuck at 98% and says this
"Creating ext3 file system for / in partition #1 of IDE slave (hdb)"

Now i have tried restarting and trying again but thats not working.

Some of the other things goign wrong are.

when i start up the Start or install kubuntu thing from the visual menu it starts up and then just either sits at a blue background doing nothing or it gets to the kubuntu loading screen and then goes back to the blue background.

now would this be a problem with my disc or the hardware.

(Im running AMD 64 Bit and i have the proper ISO burned with the right programs nd it still seems to be buggy)

Also it doesnt freeze it just stays there but i can do other things with it like use the Internet software and change my background and stuff.

Thanks you in advance

Re: Stuck at 98%

Try partitioning the drive yourself. Go to the Kmenu, and I think it's in "System", there's a program called "Qparted". Use that to partition and make your own drives so the error doesn't have a chance to show.

Re: Stuck at 98%

Well i was going to try what you said and partition the drive myself but now kubuntu doesnt even start up from the Disc so i think that maybe i will Try another version..

(My Specs are AMD 64 Bit With 2600 - 3000 + GHZ (I think 2800 To be exact)
Also its running On a Biostar Mainboard :P G7 i think is the series

So if anyone could post the best version for me to use that would be great.

Re: Stuck at 98%

Hello

May be u should check the installer media that u install Kubuntu from (may be a CD or DVD).
And check your hardware compatibility with the version of Kubuntu. Please ask uncle google..^_^
