  3) Expected to be able to install Ubuntu on Verbatim 64GB ExpressCard SSD. Tried several times with 
      2 new SSDs of the same type. 

  4) Failed systematically.

  The last error reported in the pop-up window is (although both the Kingston pendrive with
  ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64 and the Verbatim SSD /dev/sdc are brand new and the system 
  is very stable and reliable running 24/7 w/o any breakdowns):

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

  [Errno 30] Read-only file system

  This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard
  disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower
  speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often
  available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk
  is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler
  environment.
