I am working on configuring a new desktop computer. I initially installed Windows XP Professional and side by side Ubuntu 9.04. That ran fine for a while. Then I wanted to burn more distro CDs, popped in the original Ubuntu 9.04 CD. I do not know any more what happened but Ubuntu did not start up any more. Then I wanted to reinstall Ubuntu but that did not work either because either running Ubuntu from Live CD or trying to install it, I only get a long list of
[Blocknumbers] I/O Error on sr0 ...
I tried other Ubuntu releases (9.04, 8.10, 8.04, UbuntuStudio) all with the same result. These disks are not defective, because on my Lenovo T41 laptop they run without a problem.
The optical drive is not the problem either because
1) I replaced it with another and the problem persisted
2) I reinstalled Windows and play DVDs on the optical drive
What could be the problem?
