2008-07-05 11:47:22 peter_ger description I didn't find the exact description here for the bug I noticed, though I was discussed on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600126 I'v tried to install ubuntu with the Live CD for 8.04 and 8.04.1 (both i386) on my SATA2 drive and I always get the Message: The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] Input/output error This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment. I redownloaded the ISO several times, checked the MD5 right after the download and MD5'ed the burned CD (burned at 4x). Everything seemed to be allright, but this message always occured - around 69%-73%. I managed to install Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty fawn) from an old Live CD - no Problem. So my HD must be allright too. As I dig around in forums, people seemed to solve this by chance (trying different CDR's etc.). I couldn't find a real solution for this.
