I am trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop off of a USB drive, but ubuntu keeps trying to install on the USB rather than the hard drive.
When I try installing it using a 4GB usb, I get an error saying that there is not enough memory because my computer has only 4GB of space, but ubuntu requires 8GB.
When I try installing it using a 16GB USB drive, one of two problems occurs
1) I get past the space limitation, but I get stuck at the "installation type" menu. If I click "install now", I get the message "no root file system is defined; please correct this from the partitioning menu". If I click "+", "-", or "change", I get the following error:

2) I get a warning that says "Error fsyncing/closing/dev/sda1: input/output error". If I click ignore, I repeatedly get the same error with sda2 through sda5 and the sda without a number. After all of those, even more warnings/errors popup (see screenshots below). I get to selecting the timezone and creating a user account, and the installation starts, but it does not ever finish.

Here is information about my laptop:
Model: Acer Aspire E1
RAM: 4096 MB
I don't know how much memory the hard drive has because I have no operating system installed right now and don't know how to check
I have safeboot disabled, and I have AHCI mode enabled in the BIOS settings.
Do you guys know what the issue could be?
