Public bug reported: Trying to install Ubuntu-Mate 16.04.1 to a Dell 7559, pre-paritioned a Samsung EVO 850 500g SSD, so using the "something Else" option. This is very repeatable, very annoying. Have noticed many times the Swap partition is mounted if I look with GPart when using the Try Ubuntu option. As Swap is on an extended partition I think it excludes all other partitions:
SDA #1 /Boot 8 gig Primary SDA Extended: SDA #2 SWAP 4 gig SDA #3 / 50 gig SDA #4 /Temp 4 gig SDA #5 /Home 120 gig I get an error message: [Errno 5] Input/Output error. Then some text saying could be faulty media. I've tried reburning the USB stick many times, ISO's are torrented and SHA1 & MD5 Checked. Using legacy Bios mode. Have had some success with "erase disk an Install" so using the whole disk, but then have other problems.
