I never seem to be able to get a Linux distro to install. Now I'm trying Ubuntu and running into a problem.
I installed via VirtualBox first and it worked fine.
The installer from the boot disk starts up fine. It created the partition (dual boot with Windows 7), copies the files, and that's it. It sits there doing nothing.
At this point I am on the screen where it asks me to choose my location, and all I get is a spinning cursor telling me it's trying to do something, but it doesn't really do anything even after 10 minutes of waiting.
System:
Intel I3-2100
8GB DDR3 Ram
120GB SSD main drive + 3 1TB sata
Windows 7
Nvidia GT650 Video card
I'm using the Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit image.
