Error Installing Ubuntu

moondrop · 06-25-2009, 05:37 PM

Ok, so I can get to the screen where it has the progress bar and the partition and all that, but when it hits a certain point it says something similar to "shutdown properly. Run dskchk\r in Windows."
I do that but then it says "Can not lock current drive. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? <Y/N>"
I tried yes and no. It says the same thing everytime.

-Trying to install on drive E.

Anyone able to help?

Hi,

I am confused? Are you installing this through a Livecd or through WUBI? You shouldn't have a C:\ubuntu file when installing Ubuntu, Linux runs on a different filesystem. The second picture is confusing me.

Cheers!

I'm installing through Wubi.
The second picture is an message that the computer gave me while I was trying to uninstall it. I was seeing if I could uninstall then reinstall.
The E:\ is the installation drive.

Hi,

I would recommend not using WUBI, while it is a great concept as you are learning it isn't the best program for installing a complete OS. I would recommend that you use a livecd to install it. If you need help with getting and creating one we are more than willing to help you with it.

Cheers!
