Does Win7 default to setting up a GPT instead on a MBR when writing to a new disk? If it does, maybe the Ubuntu installer is confused by this fact.

You need to get verbose information for the 'Installation Failed' message, otherwise it's very hard to do diagnostics.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Concerning 2D acceleration the open xf86-video-radeon driver should support your card perfectly, so I doubt switching to the proprietary fglrx is going to make anything better.

Check the kernel log (either via dmesg or /var/log) and the Xorg log and see if there are any problems with the acceleration. Maybe the DRM module isn't loaded by default, resulting in no KMS and only mediocre hw accel. You can also check this with lsmod, it should at least show 'drm' and 'radeon' loaded, 'radeon' preferrably with modeset enabled.

How ya doing, buddy?
