Hello,
I got my sister who lives several thousand km away to install 32 bit ubuntu 9.10.
Her pc has a single IDE hdd. During installation the option "use whole disk" was selected.
At 23% the instillation failed while copying the files to the hdd.
The error was something like "Error copying files ... please clean the instillation cd, etc..."
She ran a check of the instillation disk integrity from the try/install/etc menu that appears after booting to the disk.
This check was passed.
Is there any way using the live cd that I can get her to check her hdd for problems before I send her off to buy another one?
Thanks,
Nathan
