Hi.

I am using Ubuntu since 8.04 and I never had any issue like the one I am getting with Lucid Lynx.

Whenever I try to install Ubuntu 10.04, everything goes fine until the installer starts copying files to HDD. It gives the freaky "Input/Output Error" on 43% with the 64-bit version and on 51% with the 32-bit version.

I have tried everything I could think of. Downloaded the ISO 3 times, downloaded with torrent, tried installation on two different PCs with 4 different HDDs, tried installation from CD as well a USB drive.

Still the installer doesn't succeed in copying files to HDD. Both the above mentioned PCs were running 9.10 without any problem whatsoever.

I am badly stuck at this point.

What to do now.

Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Bump....

I have came to know by experience that windows 7 has to do something with Ubuntu ISO. I downloaded Ubuntu on Windows XP once more and it worked without a problem.

So I will say this one is solved for now.
