Hardy (8.04) is still Beta, meaning there are still known bugs that are
slated to be fixed before final release (in 14 days, as of today).
They do have a big disclaimer on their beta page before you download:

"Note: This is still a beta release. Do not install it on production
machines. The final stable version will be released in April 2008."

Meaning there are known bugs and problems with the Beta, and you could
experience problems with it.  Don't install it on any machine with
data that you care about.  While it's unfortunate that you're having
problems with Hardy currently, wait until it is officially released,
then see if your problem has been fixed.
