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 :(
