Public bug reported: I was installing a new dapper drake dual boot on my new dell windows xp box.
I chose "resize scsi1 (0,0,0),partion #1 (sda) and use freed space". I opted for 35% (81.0GB) of my 250 GB maxtor SATA disk. And this gave the following errorbox: Failed to create enough space for installation And then after the messagebox OK, I can retry, so I retry, but only the powerfan starts spinning up, but no harddisk activity or nothing else. On reboot and retry the same thing happens. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- 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
