I have Windows XP SP2,
Recently I tried installing Ubuntu 12.
The installation was not that smooth, it took considerable time, during the primary installation of copying files, the installation gave an error
Error 5 input/out error.
then i tried with another new burn CD.
again the same error.
Its states that installer has crashed.
I cannot even try live CD,
_________________________________________
History behind the crashes.
It all started when I first install ubuntu 10 along with Windows XP.
It was going well until, firefox crashed in Ubuntu and further was unable to log into ubuntu.
Even firefox+chrome+IE began to crash in Windows XP.
Then all started to crash, whenever I try to install any new program, it could give out error about installer crash.
(I know this is not Windows forums, but I suspect ubuntu crash might have affect Windows too).
As i had no knowledge about ubuntu,
I simply deleted the partition and was unable to access Windows too.
so i reintalled Windows XP.
then created a new partition and tried to install ubuntu again.
Again, it gave out multiple errors.
like cannot unmount the partition/drive.. etc..
__________________________________________________ ________
Is the problem linked to corrupted GRUB in earlier version of ubuntu 10, when it crashed, I directly deleted the partition.
could this be creating problems.

Can be done to fix the problem and run Ubuntu again.
Thanks
