My ubuntu Live cd is perfect, md5checksumed and disk integrity check turn up positive. I can try out the live cd and I am able to use wireless internet, but when I attempt to install it ubuntu hangs around 41% and it gives me an error 5! I have set up the right partitions in vista and reburned the disk, but I got the same thing! Can any linux experts help?
