Help Please! I'm trying to convert but can't install Ubuntu 9.10.
Here's what happens:
Install goes normally until 59% and then always fails with an error code indicating problem with reading or writing to disk. I think it gave a code of "errno 5".
Here's what I've tried:
1) Burned another cd from ISO
2) Downloaded new ISO and burned another cd
3) Tried second cd drive
4) Installed new hard drive
5) Tried to install from live cd desktop
6) Tried to install from cd during boot
7) Tried to install by partitioning first with GParted from live cd desktop (i.e. "swap" "/" and "/home")
8.) Removed one of two ram sticks
Did I mention that same failure occurred when trying to install on another computer? I'm really trying to convert here :)
By the way, Mint installs fine but for some reason I think I want Ubuntu instead.
Any ideas? Do I need to burn ISO to a dvd? Just grasping. Obviously you're dealing with a noob here so please be as detailed as possible.
Thanks for helping.
