i use ext3 wit file jounaling but wat my fren said is that he too had the same problem but the matter was solved with ext2 file system. as i have told before that there is no problem till the manually partition of hard disk stage. so after selecting the ext3 with jounaling and trying to install the process goes back again to the hard disk partition stage, and doesnt allow me to go ahead with the installation. i hav tried formatting the whole of the hard disk by reinstalling win XP but the problem still persist. i have not tried with ext2 but i think i sud not b having a problem with ext3. pliz help me out........
