Bug Description

Installing 20.04 using ISO image downloaded yesterday (6/18/2020).
After a few tries, with the last attempt running out of space on /=root after having it overwrite my 15.04 installation automatically, I decided to try a repartitioning of the disk (/dev/sdc).
After I finished repartitioning the disk ~240GB SSD disk:
  (/boot = 4GB, (/ = 50GB, swap=32GB, /var=30GB, /home=remainder[123GB?))
It confirmed the procedure listing the actions being taken and went to the Time Zone selection.
Before I could confirm my time zone (New York), the crash occurred.
The textual error seemed to indicate there was an I/O error trying to copy the files from the DVD drive (ASUS DVD RW+ drive).
And then it brought me to this bug submission screen...
