Installation program crashes, GRUB loader installation failure

[Benjamin Lenz]

I cannot install Ubuntu from the Live-DVD, at the end of the installation process, the GRUB loader cannot be installed; I get repeatedly the message "ata2: COMRESET failed" and the installer crashes. A harddisk problem?
I am looking forward to any help. Thank you!

Yes; your hard disk seems to have utterly failed.
