[Bug 1801579] Re: cannot install ubuntu

[Douglas Lazenby]

Dear Paul

Thanks for this. I had concluded that the problem was the Hard Disk on 
this fairly old laptop as I had tried a few installations. It was not 
worth replacing as other things were probably wrong as well.

BTW Outlook put your message in my Junk mail folder.

Thanks again

Douglas Lazenby

Title:
  cannot install ubuntu

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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
