I first had installed ubuntu 13.10 dual boot with windows 8. I had 4 partitions, the one with Ubuntu, the one with windows, a partition "System reserved" which I think has the boot flag also and a partition with my personal stuff. As seen in gparted, those were like this:
/dev/sda1 - linux
/dev/sda2 - windows
/dev/sda3 - system reserved
/dev/sda4 - extended
/dev/sda5 - with personal stuff
Then I decided to install kubuntu and I got the error saying ubi-partman failed with exit code 141. I read on some forums that this is caused by the existing ubuntu partition. I then selected "try kubuntu", installed gparted and deleted /dev/sda1. Still I had the same error. Then I rebooted and the grub bootloader was still working ( I guess it was written to mbr ) and I tought it may cause that error and used easy bcd on windows and rewrote the mbr. Now everything seems to be good, it boots directly into windows but I have the same error when I try to install kubuntu.
So, my question is, how do I get rid of this error without losing windows and my personal stuff ?
LE: I get this error in the second step of installation, when it check wether I have enough disk space, internet connection and wether my laptop is plugged in or not.
