It runs great from a bootable usb, but when I tried to install it, I've got the "errno 5 - input/output error". I tried everything to install it on my laptop, but nothing works (also re-download the iso). system-installation share|improve this question edited Oct 26 '15 at 23:33 Tim 14.6k758100 asked Oct 13 '11 at 20:57 Manuel Andrés Vélez 1252210 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 8 down vote accepted You may have some bad sectors on the target HDD. To check sda1 volume for bad sectors in Linux run fsck -c /dev/sda1. For drive C: in Windows it should be chkdsk c: /f /r. IMHO chkdsk way will be more suitable as it will remap bad blocks on the HDD while Linux fsck simply marks such blocks as unusable in the current file system. Quote from man fsck.ext2 -c This option causes e2fsck to use badblocks(8) program to do a read-only scan of the device in order to find any bad blocks. If any bad blocks are found, they are added to the bad block inode to prevent them from being allocated to a file or directory. If this option is specified twice, then the bad block scan will be done using a non-destructive read-write test share|improve this answer edited Nov 14 '15 at 7:41 David Foerster 10.6k93052 answered Oct 13 '11 at 21:09 Sergey 1,018814 I format my installation USB to low level from windows, re-mount the iso and it works... my hdd works great but this USB pendrive not.

I'v tried to install ubuntu with the Live CD for 8.04 and 8.04.1 (both i386) on my SATA2 drive and I always get the Message: ------- The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] Input/output error This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment. I redownloaded the ISO several times, checked the MD5 right after the download and MD5'ed the burned CD (burned at 4x). Everything seemed to be allright, but this message always occured - around 69%-73%. ------- It seems to have no effect wether I choose EXT3, ReiserFS, create swap partition yes/

Tried three times. errno 5 input Each time the error occurs immediately upon start of the "Copying files..." step. The same "Errno 5" also occurs when trying to install Mint 9, Ubuntu 10.04.1, and Ubuntu 10.10. With these earlier attempts, the file copy step fails at different points during the copy, at ether 32% or about 45% complete. Note that using the Ubuntu Alternate CD to install w/o ubiquity was successful. Various attempts to resolve the ubiquity failure did not work: . replaced an old CD ROM drive with a new CD/DVD RW drive . burned the CDs and DVDs at a slower speed . burned a DVD on the same drive used to run the install . ran badblocks with write mode on the failing partition (found 1 bad block, which was added to the BBT) . ran memtest through several passes (found "block move" errors, so swapped memory DIMMs) . re-ran memtest through 10 complete passes (no further memory errors were detected) . removed half of the installed memory (per other posts) . confirmed that the computer was not overhe
