Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD). You can verify the integrity of the Ubuntu ISO files you downloaded by following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM. You might also retry your installation with new media. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your installation media please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply. I have verified the ISO and it matched the MD5sum and am sure it's not the installation media becuase i checked the disk for defect and nothing was wrong with it.

Try checking the disk from the boot menu a few times. It may be that the disc itself is fine, but your reader sometimes returns bad data.

Have tried two different usb sticks, two different versions of ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 and i have even tried removing both my rams and using it one at a time (although i used memtest86+ to test my memory which turns out fine) but it still gives that error. Funny enough, i have had ubuntu 14.04 installed before, which i upgraded to 14.10 and then to 15.04 and then i had to go back to 14.10 by deleting ubuntu partition. Now i can't get any of them installed
