It looks like you are trying to install from a USB flash drive with persistent storage enabled, and the persistent filesystem is corrupt. Please try recreating the flash drive and try again.

Hi and thanks. I did make a persistence file. I didn't think it was corrupt but will check.
I rebooted and Ubuntu 13.04 seems fine although ubiquity hung right at the end.
Thanks for the info.
Another thing i did i made myself a user, perhaps there was a permissions problem when copying the log files.
I will mount and check the petsistence file. Will report back.
Cheers,
Rob
