I recently tried to install ubuntu, as well as xubuntu on my aunt's computer.
I managed to delete windows, but ubuntu doesn't fully install I get the message:
The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[Errno 5] Input/output error
This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.
I've ruled out the cd being the problem, and Im going to try a usb install to rule out a cd/dvd reader problem. It is really hot right now, maybe 90 degrees, would this be enough to make the installation fail?
