Your question was: "

How did you choose to install? Did you first try to install using free
space, and then go back and choose to install using the whole disk?

"
Yes, it's what happen. At first, I wanted to have two OS on my computer
so I install with the partitions but something happen and blocked the
installation. After I decided to come back and to put Ubuntu on the
whole disk but a problem happen, a "fatal error" was written on the
screen. I think what you say is true because one day later, using the
same CD, there were no problems. I don't know if it changes something
but I have a HP Pavillon dv6, windows 7.
