The boys at Ubuntu suggest that  my NVIDIA graphics card is  the problem with 11.xx installations.  On second thought they may be right. No more upgrades for me until my  NVIDIA graphics card is supported. I'm definitely bummed by this. It's crazy to by a new box that is successfully supported by Windows.

It won't give you the absolute best i/o performance but for desktop applications you're unlikely to notice. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer

Goes through all of the steps but hangs when completing installation with last message : Asking all remaining processes to terminate. This has been going on for at least an hour. I hesitate to stop the process. I have my system backed up. But I don't wish to a destructive reinstall. Any suggestions?
