I have found this error installing PinguyOS 10.10. I know it is a different distro but it is base on Ubuntu and it uses same installer. In the same computer I have previously installed without any problem Ubuntu 10.10, Windows XP and Windows 7 several times so I dont think that the problem is on the computer. I have tried with more than two different downloads and trying to install from DVD reading disk on two different lectors and from two different usb pendrives prepared on different machines and with different downloads and I have face each time with the same problem:

El instalador encontrĂ³ un error al copiar los archivos al disco duro: [Errno 5] Input/output error

It is in spanish because I am installing it on Spanish but is the translation for

The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] Input/output

After reading comments on lots of forums and on this bug I have seen that it must be an installer bug which dont have a clear workarround.
I will be happy with my Ubuntu 10.10 but I am worried because I have seen that other people have same issue with this distro also so I am lucky but I dont know for how long. Maybe I face the issue on 11.04 and it will be a pitty leaving using Ubuntu for this question. I must urge Cannonical to solve this problem.
I attached logs that error tells me to send and I offer myself to do any test that may be helpfull to find a definitive solution to this issue.

Thank you everybody for your help.
