Boot from the live cd and instead of choosing try or install ubuntu, 
chose check disc for defects.

Title:
  installation crashed during repartitioning phase

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Trying to install 11.04 along side 10.04 after latest update of
  Network-Manager removed internet access capability.

  I downloaded 11.04 on a second computer using 10.04 Startup Disk
  Creater and prepared a USB stick to use on the damage machine.

  I tried using the USB to run 11.04 and all seemed to function
  correctly, so decided to install. Of the three options, I  chose
  "install Ubuntu alongside them" as I want to keep the Windows
  partition unchanged. I decided to restrict the old 10.04 to 35 GB
  leaving 40.2 GB for 11.04 and started the partitioning phase. This
  crashed.

  The 250 GB drive in a Dell Studio is shared with Windows about 50/50.
   
  The crashed machine offers no method to export the two log files asked for in the "Installer crashed" window. These are /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman: 

  Neither the install window or the installer crashed window could be
  closed or quit.

  As the off-button top right offered only: suspend, hibernate and
  system settings, the power supply had to be used to terminate the
  session.

  Although System Settings > System Log Viewer offered a link to
  reporting an error, my internet connection was very poor, so could not
  connect to the crash data base. I will try further ways.

  It would be a good idea if the System Log Viewer was able to export
  files to an external drive.

  Hope this helps.
