Hey. Yesterday I was given a Samsung NC10 netbook. The previous owner had somehow managed to corrupt it and the OS had been erased so he told me I could have it if I could fix it because it would really help me with my school work.
I managed to download Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition onto a USB and run it by holding down ESC when the netbook started to get to the Boot Menu. I can try Ubuntu fine (and I must say it's brilliant) but am having HUGE problems with the install.
Install Ubuntu-Netbook>Has all the things required for best result ticked>selected erase and use entire disk>Install now
Once I've done all that it starts "copying files" then "[Errno 5] Input/output error" pops up then when I push ok it says the installer has crashed.
I've tried installing it loads of times, with internet on/off, plugged in/not, tried clearing data from the hard drive, re-downloaded the ISO document, tried using different USB ports and have tried using different devices but to nothing has worked.
If anyone knows of anything then PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY need this netbook for school
