This does indeed sound like a bad disk so I'm afraid this is not a true bug report. If the CD is somehow damaged, it is quite common for the install to fail in peculiar ways (as it did now).
I'm afraid I'll have to reject this bug. Did you burn the CD yourself or did you order it from Shipit? ** Changed in: Ubuntu Sourcepackagename: None => ubiquity Status: Needs Info => Confirmed ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Rejected -- Installer crashes during data copy https://launchpad.net/bugs/59082 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
