I tried a couple more times and it is continuing to fail. Since the
first attempt created the partitions, all later attempts no longer
offered the option for Ubuntu to choose the partitioning scheme. Only
choices were to let Ubuntu use the whole disk or to manually edit the
partition table. Naturally I chose the latter. This also eventually
causes a crash during file copying. Nice thing is that the unusable
/dev/hda2 ext3 partition is set bootable so the system is not bootable,
including Windows. I fixed this by booting into the live CD and using
fdisk to turn off the boot flag for /dev/hda2 and turn it on for the
/dev/hda1 NTFS partition. This restored my ability to boot Windows.
