Flush with new found confidence i decided to go ahead on one of my laptops and migrate... failed.<br><br>error message is:<br><br>"The ext3 file system creation in partition # 1 of SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed"<br><br>i searched the forum and implemented their suggested solution ( insert update something into a text file) still no good.<br><br>Quite pleased with myself cos that reqd me to go into commannd line and edit it... never been in command line before and i successfully did the fix but the fix didnt cure the problem.<br><br>my concern here is not to complete th emigration - rather that when i coax others to migrate they have a work around for this problem... alth' looking at the forums it may be just specific to me cos not many seem to have the problem.<br><br>seems something to do witht he format of the hard drive prior to th eattempt to install ubuntu so if all i have to do is reformat the windows drive to soiimething then if you can give me the instruction for that in windows and in ubuntu then i can just add it as the first step for the guys who are successfully coaxed.<br><br><br><br>Regards
