Public bug reported: First installation attempt failed during disk partitioning when attempting dual-boot install. Second attempt, I created a partition for Linux prior to installing, this time installation failed 'when copying files' or something and gave me an error message about a possible faulty or dammaged HDD/SSD. But this computer is brand new and the internal drive seems to be fine.
Running an HP laptop with Intel Pentium Gold 4417U Gold processor, 500GB hard drive storage, 4GB DDR4 RAM, and running with pre-installed Windows 10 home edition OS. Laptop was purchased less than 2 weeks ago.
