I know that this is a similar title to an earlier post, but is a different problem.

I am INSTALLING Ubuntu Desktop 64 bit for am AMD processor. Dell Inspiron 1526. The install seems to work until about halfway through, and it notifies me the fallowing:

"The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:

[Errno 5] input/output error"

It also goes on to tell me that cleaning the disk can prevent problems, but the disk is brand new and just freshly burned. I tried burning the ISO image again to another disk, but i still have the same result.

Bad drive. or combination of disk + drive

New information

I have sucessfully booted into recovery mode, and i can do it reliably, however, i wish to know what is preventing me from booting normally. I did a full update, with all the files the update manager gave to me, and also installed the driver for my wireless card.

Any ideas?
