Bug Description

Tried to install multiple time. Manually I can copy files from the flash to the HDD in Windows. But the installation always crashes during the copying stage, with error that suggest faulty DVD/Flash.

You probably had a bad write to your media and as you probably resolved the issue some time ago this bug report is being closed.

Should you have such a problem in the future please 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.
