Comment 28 for bug 492301

Got he same message, but AFTER a first successfull boot and exploring session on my netbook with boot-problems from internal hdd. I used the newes version Ububtu 11.04 So the bug is not yet fixed or do I have a hardware-problem?

I need a persistance-file (on a 16GB-stick I chose the max. 4GB for persistance ) giving us the huge advantage over a life-CD: I could save in the persistance file the WLAN-settings, set and save e-mail-service in evolution, and it worked. Wanted to also try to install persistantly Thunderbird, to possibly read my local folders on the olld hdd. All NOT possible with no good size persistance-file.

I created the PENDRIVE on a PC under WinowsXP SP3 and had to learn to switch off aVra's aVira-Guard, for otherwise it blocks access to the autorun.ini file which the install tries to write at the end of installytion.

But even with boot-order ALL set to usb-hdd, USB-floppy, ()USB-flash not available on this PC). Still Ubuntu would not boot but WindowsXP did (even tjough boot from other devices was DISABLED!) Though I had turned off aVira-Guard during the previous session, by default it is turne ON again after re-booting and blocked again.

During the successfull life-Ubunto-session, I tried to create a permanent full istallation of Ubuntu in a 35GB PRIMARY partition (with 2 others on a 500GB USB-hdd), but the installer was not able to create a swap-partition within it, thats why I why I removed said partition on the PC and created a 31GB Linux-partition set aktiv (i.e. bootable) and a 4GB swap-partition without a drive-letter.

Mounting the ubuntu-11.04-.iso on a virual DVD-drive by 120%alcol and starting the full installation I got an ERRor-msg: Read-error. the disk will not be bootable!

Help !?
