Bug Description

I have used the USB booter to erase everything on the disk; partitions, Windows, everthing. I can boot into Ubuntu with the USB no problem but can't get it to install without crashing. It goes all the way through the Language packs and then crashes. Thinking about just installing Ubuntu on my android and just hauling around a screen and keyboard. Would like to get this netbook working though. Have tons of work to do. Please help. Thanks.

Ben

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 the disk to which you are trying to install Ubuntu. I'd recommend performing a back up of your existing operating system and then investigating the situation. Measures you might take include checking cable connections for your disks and using software tools to investigate the health of your hardware. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!
