This is now the 4th time I have tried to install Ubuntu. I have tried 2 burnt DVD's, 2 USB-sticks. Always the same error message at some point during the installation:

"The system log from your installation contains error. The specific error commonly occurs when there is an issue with the media from which you were installing. This can happen when your media is dirty or damaged or when you've burned the media at a high speed. Please try cleaning the media and or burning new media at a lower speed. In the even that you continue to encounter these errors it may be an issue with your CD/DVD drive."

I don't think there is anything wrong with the USB/DVD's.

It's a 64 bit Dell Precision laptop.

Any suggestions?

At this point, perhaps this:


... you've burned the media at a high speed.

What speed are you burning at? Try minimum and see if it's the same with the disks. Unsure why you're getting this with a USB dongle, though ... :-k

If you have the same problems booting from DVD and USB I suspect that something is wrong with the iso file. Have you checked the md5sum?
