Thx Cedric,

The problems:
1 pc was a triple boot: Windows 2000, XP and Vista. The guy wanted to remove
W2000 and replace it with Ubuntu. The live-cd did not recognise te the raid
configuration, we think that the alternate cd can do this job but because of
the succes of the party and everybody was installing ubuntu we didn't have
enough internetspeed to download the alternate-cd. Maybe later

1 laptop was succesfully installed but after reboot we get a kernel panic.
Nothing worked. Even reïnstalling the MBR so we can give him back his
Windows did not work, he left with an broken laptop ... We think his
harddrive is corrupted.

Greetz,
