I was trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my windows Vista. I followed the instructions found online by burning the iso to a cd, shrinking the disk volume to free up some hard disk space, and then booting from the cd. After choosing 'install ubuntu', a lot of texts showed up on the screen, and then suddenly the screen went blank. In the middle there was something like 'buffer i/o error on device sr0, logical block 178838'. I waited for a while but nothing happened, so I pushed the power button of the computer, then the screen turned back on and a lot of texts showed up again and finally it arrived at what is shown in the attached picture. Then I pressed enter and my computer shut down! I also tried installing using wubi but it gave the same results. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong and help me fix this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
