Title:
   Ubuntu installer crashes because of an input/output error using new
  WD 1TB HDD

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have attempted to install Ubuntu (both 11.04 and 10.04 LTS) along
  side Vista several times from three different CDs and a flash drive
  onto a new 2.5' Western Digital Scorpio Blue 1TB Hard Drive. I had
  Ubuntu 11.04 running without any problems on the same laptop (Dell
  Inspiron 1525) with a Seagate 500GB hard drive up until a few days
  ago. When trying to install, each time I get to somewhere around the
  stage where the narwhal image comes up I get a message saying that
  there was an input/output error and the install has failed.
  Unfortunately, since the install fails every time I am unable to
  access the syslog and partman files to this report but if you need
  more information I will try to do what I can.
