The internal hdd is new.
Even after trying different ways to format the hdd (or leave the default option), the Osgeo Live installation says unable to format and stops or hangs.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

The following errors can be found in UbiquitySyslog.txt which was automatically attached to this bug report:

It's possible you had a bad write to your media. When having such problems should try the option to check the integrity of the image from the installer boot menu, and if this confirms that the media is corrupt, try re-writing it.

I'm closing this bug due to the time that has elapsed since you raised it. I hope you were eventually successful installing Ubuntu.
