Everytime I boot with the newly installed Ubuntu, a window with a loading bar appears. I waited but then I saw that there was no improvement when it came to 82% “Scanning the mirror”. I tried to wait for about more or less an hour. Okay, I tired this 5 times. Still, it happens. Even when I use the Live CD and then install or even emulate it. Help please.

I’m trying to do this in Windows 7 but I don’t get the boot menu when I restart, and it defaults to Windows. How can I get it to work??

I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 in this method. The whole process goes fine, escept on reboot I do not get the windows boot manager menu. I went into advanced system sentings and it does show a ubuntu boot option, but during reboot, even if I hit escape, the ubuntu option does not show up. Any ideas? I am installing ubuntu amd64 inside windows vista ultimate x64 svc pk 1.
