What are the specs of your hardware? Maybe you should look at the Alternate ISO.

try installing 8.10 using wubi it should work good

the ubuntu 9 versions seem to be so unstable and why is everybody so exciting over this release, for me it only seems to be breaking things than improving

I got a similar permission denied error with a Python traceback in the log. (Preserved, contact me if you want it.)

The whole permission thing was spurious in my case: the CD was bad. Apparently the script interprets ordinary I/O errors as permission errors.

My advice: make sure you can read the whole CD. Something like "xcopy /x D:\ NUL:" might do the trick.
