Thread: installaton corrupts NTFS
when use wubi install, install says went well, ubuntu won't boot , uninstall fails because ntfs partition corrupt.
system:
amd x64, winxp sp3, (real) hardware raid (managed in bios - windows sees mirrored device), plenty of ram , free space in partition (> 11gb want allocate ubuntu)
steps took:
- run wubi pre-downloaded 9.04 x64 iso , select install d:
- wubi wizard completes , select reboot immediately
- after reboot select ubuntu boot menu
- automated system runs, saying it's checking install , forth.
- automated system reboots
- select ubuntu menu again, , i'm dropped grub
- grub unable find install (gives options "find ......", options fail)
- select reboot
- choose windows @ boot menu
- attempt uninstall of wubi
- uninstall fails vague error
- need run chkdsk auto fix option 3 or 4 times before ntfs partition clean enough uninstall wubi.
i've gone through these exact steps 3 times now, , same result each time.
if wubi install cd ubuntu live cd, not equipped software install raid drives. ntfs partition appear corupted - worse if raid0. think following reference walk thru it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/fakeraidhowto
