I have the same problem. I am trying to install ubuntu on a XP machine. I am trying to build it as a dual boot resizing the 60 gig drive. I have tried 5,10,15,20,25 and 30 gigs as the partition. I am doing a network install with no removable media. I cannot really post any debug information. I am following the instructions outlined in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
I would really appreciate any help getting past this bug. -- on installation "prepare disk space" gives error "failed to create enough space for installation" https://launchpad.net/bugs/54778 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
