Bug Description

I am attempting to load 11.04 version from a USB drive. I have done this once already on my netbook with no problem. Now I am attempting to do the same on my HP Desktop. The system loads and works from the USB but when I try to install it permanently on my hard drive (the whole drive) I keep getting the error message "APT configuration problem. An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed" The installer crashes shortly afterwards. And again I am attempting this from a USB drive and not a CD? I also received this current error when I tried to update to the new version once I had loaded and ran the system from the USB. I have tried various combinations to get this installed on the desktop with the same loader crash results as I love the software on my netbook. Thanks
