I think that the setting on closing the lid of a laptop should be set to
- "do nothing" instead of "suspend". It makes no sense that you keep this
+ "do nothing" instead of "suspend" or inhibit system suspend completely
+ while installation is taking place. It makes no sense that you keep this
setting as "suspend" when this could interrupt the install or disk
partitioning tasks. Both in ubiquity by choosing "install ubuntu" right
after booting the installation CD or after choosing "try ubuntu" and
then "install ubuntu". It also affects you if you only use "gparted"
after choosing "try ubuntu" but before choosing "install ubuntu".
This happened to me when the partitioning process was in progress. A
friend came by to invite me to have lunch together and closed the lid of
my laptop because he didn't think I was doing anything important (I was
lying back in my chair while the partitioning/installation progressed).
Needless to say NTFS got screwed and by consequence so did my windows
partition.
In my opinion this is expected behaviour when booting into any operating
system's installation media.
