Hey guy , please guide me in detail about the following problem as I'm a beginner

So , I was trying to install pinux on my hp elitebook 8470p everything was just fine untill I got to the installation process ..it asked me what type of installation process should I choose so I chose normal installation in which it will format the drive and install Ubuntu on it ...then it started the installation and I got stuck on creating file system for/in partition #1 of SCS1(0,0,0) (sdb)...for like half and hour and nothing happened I tried the installation many times but I was unable to install because of this problem kindly help me...

NOTE : Right now no os is present in the laptop
 
Solution
Did you select "encrypt home folder"? I have had a similar problem, and it turned out to be a bug - so I had to unselect "encrypt home folder" in order to proceed installation.
