Hi Charlie, did I report a Bug recently or is this an existing issue way back when. If it was reported recently, then it wasn't me that did. I did, however have an issue several month ago with XUBUNTU 8.04 as I tried to install it onto an existing Win XP system. Since the partition was an NTFS (one single partition) I had to use the resize option provided. The problem is I don't remember how I proceeded, but I think used some default option (not the use all drive) rather tried to divide the partition into two equal parts. When the setup program started to partition, resize and format the new values, I believe it hung up and stayed in limbo. The only way to get it out (after waiting for about two hours) was to use a Hard reset. Also, the drive that is installed is an SATA 300GB Seagate.Win XP did not boot from hard drive anymore and XUBUNTU hadn't finished yet, so I tried to get as much data from the original to a secondary drive using a boot disk. It appeared to me as if the FAT or MBR was out of sequence. The directory tree was shown correctly, but some files where damaged and hung the system during recovery/copy to another drive.
I re-installed the Win XP and parted the hard drive in two before I attempted to install XUBUNTU onto the second partition. I think there was, I am sorry don't remember, another problem and I gave up on the dual boot. Other than that I have several computer with Ubuntu 8.04 on them and am as happy as I can be with them. Installation goes flawless if there is no second operating system intended. I had chosen XUBUNTU because of the lower overhead and smaller installation to run a VoIP for Amateur Radio Application and Web server, but have decided to run all on the UBUNTU 8.04 so the *XUBUNTU issue does not exist with me anymore. * XUBUNTU 8.10 I have not switched to Ubuntu 8.10 because I am having 8.10 Video issues on a VIA VB7000 Single board Computer that runs 7/24. During install of Ubuntu 8.10 the screen resolution is 1024x768 however, once completed I can't get anything but 640x480 which is far to large. The LCD can easily handle 1280 resolutions. So I reverted to version 8.04 and it is working fine with the 1024x768 resolution. Charlie Bravest's wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make > Ubuntu better.
