Bug Description

I was in the installation process again and this time it crashed in the last step due to a faulty dvd/cd drive, although I unplugged it the last time and restarted my computer. I wasn't even trying to use the disc drive in any way shape or form, because I am booting from a USB. I have tried multiple times to install Ubuntu and I would really appreciate if I could get it to work. At first I believed that it was because I still had windows installed, but I know that it should not effect how ubuntu is being installed. Any help I can get is useful at this point. I might have one more option to disable the drive in my bios.
