Public bug reported: hello, i am testing the beta 8.04 ubuntu desktop amd64 version on a dell laptop inspirion i tried to installing ubuntu from windows vista, it worked well until i had to reboot from vista to ubuntu 8.04 whilst seeing the final steps for instalation on the ubuntu desktop, i got an error message for the swap partition file, and then appeared the partitioning guide which freezed for more 30 min...
i solved the problem while disabling NTFS "compress drive" option in windows vista C: Properties and then the ubuntu installation finished well and both system are now working fine but it does bother me to have my c:\vista partition uncompressed, because i do not use a HDD but a SSD (solid state drive) where every GB counts since it only has 16GB and i lost 4GB for decompressing the drive and now there remains only 1.2 GB free on the drive :( ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- BETA 8.04 install error from (windows) NTFS compressed drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
