    Installing system failed

    I am having this problem installing on my desk pc .. i used the manual partitioning disk

    +100 GB for the root
    8 Gb for the swap (the system decided by itself
    and during "install the system" i get error " Installation step failed adn installation setp failed. You can try to run the failing item again from
    the menu, or skip it and choose somthinhg else.
    The failing set is : install the system."
    I have tried this 3 times again. No luck.

    I have a similar problem, and i don't want to loose data from my win7, too. But my problem is when I tick Yes for network mirror it gives me error. Failing step bad network mirror.
    Probably we need to wait to fix 2.0 version

    first you wan't lose data. only if you format windows partition. maybe you can lose boot, but not data.
    second don't create manually partitions if you don't know what you are doing. just leave unpartition space on hdd
    where you can install Kali

    zhanzibar: in virtualbox go to settings, system, processor and put a check in "Enable PAE/NX" and you should be able to complete the install.
