This error was when mine USB player was attached to PC during installation. So i just removed it and installation continues.

Sorry for bad English.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 48732, and occurs due to strange model names on certain disks. This is fixed in Edgy, but failing that, it may be possible to work around it by removing unnecessary removable drives (such as any USB sticks) from your system.
