Hi
i previously had Ubuntu 10.04 on my machaine and I was trying to install ubuntu 10.10, it started the install started copying the files then if stopped with:
installer encountered an error copying files
Errno 5 input/output error.
So i tried it again, same thing. then i tried redownloading the iso and got the same thing. i ahve tried burning on different cd drives and i have also tried using a memory stick. All have come to the same problem.
Next i tried to reinstall the old Ubuntu 10.04 and got:
and error saying something along the lines of
Couldn't complete copy (can't remember exactly) then
/target/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/libxul.so and the same message:
installer encountered an error copying files
Errno 5 input/output error
So what have i done to my machine? Is it the ISO, CD Drive, computer or the HDD or what? I can't even boot from it anymore because the install wiped the / directory and i am currently writing to you from the live CD.
Please help get my computer running again.
Andy
