Hi, Hope this epic is of use to someone...
Using the same ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso, I put the image on a USB memory stick. I then booted a Dell Optiplex GX-280 PC that I had lying around. It installed from USB memory stick flawlessly. Lovely. My generic PC (hostname rutherford) can't boot from memory stick. And if I use a CDR then installation fails. BTW while watching the Dell PC boot from memory stick, I noticed that it got as far as a "Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS" message and continued OK. rutherford, OTOH would fail just before that. I now need to get a DVDRW drive for my old Dell so I can burn the iso onto a DVDR disk and see if rutherford will install 12.04 successfully from that, HTH, Ian -- -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.accu.org/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985066 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 installer fails when copying files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/985066/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
