[Bug 1183636] Re: unable to install ubuntu

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with the disk to which you are trying to
install Ubuntu.  I'd recommend performing a back up of your existing
operating system and then investigating the situation.  Measures you
might take include checking cable connections for your disks and using
software tools to investigate the health of your hardware.  In the event
that is is not in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's
status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  unable to install ubuntu

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Trying to install ubuntu on virtualbox (running on Mac os X). The
  install seemed fine at first, but eventually it gave an error saying
  it could nto copy some information from the CD, and that it was
  probably a faulty CD/DVD drive. This is absurd, since there is no CD,
  it's working from an iso. I tried redownloading the iso from a
  different location, same problem.
