[Bug 919989] Re: ubunt6u did not install alongside windows correctly, hard drive issue apparently

[Colin Watson]

I'm afraid it looks like it was right.  The syslog has this kind of
stuff in it:

... which is a clear sign of a lower-level problem.  It may not be heat;
perhaps the hard drive is dying.  At any rate, the installer couldn't do
any more than notifying you of the problem, and this isn't an installer
bug.
