I'm making a new thread because this seems to be the core problem: I get to the point where I size the / partition on sda and then I go to the line that says "bootable flag: off". I hit enter and I see "Computing the new state of the partition table..." flash very quickly on the screen with a progress bar (so fast that I have to hit enter repeatedly to read it). The line still reads "bootable flag: off". There seems to be no way to turn the bootable flag to "on," but it seems that I need it to be on. That seems to be a problem, or I thought it was, because I later could not boot. However, I see this... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1407682.html ...which suggests that I shouldn't worry about it. OK, I'll try it a second time, but the first time I never got GRUB2 installed. I think there might have been a second problem with the MBR. I'll let you know. It is a very annoying bug -- how could they leave it there for three releases? Mike
