Hi all,
My ubuntu (hardy) died fairly horrifically
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1176251
I have everything that I wanted backed up and now im looking into installing from scratch.
I have an intrepid live cd I am trying to install from. I get through steps 1-6 fine...
Mid installation (28%) I get the message:
"Installation Failed"
"The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk
[Errno 5] Input/Output error
This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk..."
And so on, clean your disk etc...
Well the disk looks pretty much untouched and I've run the check disk integrity thing with nothing flagged as an error.
Basically is my computer totally screwed? Will I be able to just totally reformat my hard drive to fix it? Theres nothing Im worried about losing on it I just want to try and get a working laptop again!
Cheers
