@ Phil, while I'm sure there are other ways of reproducing this look at comment #15. I can reliably reproduce this in a *buntu dual boot time and time again. I'm suspicious of ubiquity-partman but that's just a guess.

This means Linuxc won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda3 until you reboot - so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting." I made no changes. The installer comes up with this error all on its own right before the "Where are you?" screen.
