Hi Bret,

FIrst of all, we've spoken about this before. Can you please refrain from
using overly derogative and emotive language on the list. Not only does it
turn off people who may have otherwise helped, it doesn't always translate
well into other languages and goes against the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.

With regards to the issue, I believe if you can get the file system mounted
correctly you may have a shot of resolving the install issues. I'm not sure
what the drive location is but the tools I'd look into:
* fdisk to make sure the drive is okay (failing drives can be mounted read
only)
* mount to see what options are selected against the drive in question when
it was mounted
* editing /etc/fstab if any of the mount options are incorrect

If you don't have any luck please post the outcome of your commands for
further troubleshooting

Regards,

Jared
