[Bug 1801579] [NEW] cannot install ubuntu

[Douglas Lazenby]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to install LTS ubuntu from a USB drive recently downloaded from the internet on a DELL insprion 1018 netbook. The software seems to have sent technical details to you already. I have previously tried ubuntu from the same download and it worked OK so pehaps the problem is with my hard disk? I told the installer to delete the disk and re install as it said the was already a copy of ubuntu on the disk from my previous attempts.
I have just read the following guidelines so if it is my hard disk it is not a bug. In which case sorry to have bothered you. However this screen came up automatically after I followed the instructions to log in to ubuntu one
