Public bug reported: I tried to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Maxdata Vision 4000X laptop with Intel Pentium 4 Northwood @1,8Ghz and 1,2GB of ram. Windows 7 works on it. I changed the hdd (i dont want to overwrite windows 7 and don´t want a dualboot because the hdd has only 60gb) and now i have another 20gb drive inside this computer. I started "instal ubuntu" from the unetbootin menue (i´ḿ using a usb flash drive to install) and started the installation. After partitioning the harddisk the setup displays me a input/output error. The harddisk is fully working and my ub flash drive too. I tried to redownload the installer image, but its not working at all. I also get this error in vmware player on my newer laptop (with intel core i5 and 8gb ram) I think its a general problem and not a hardware problem.
