I am having the exact same problem that a lot of users seem to be having. While I am installing Ubuntu it is stalling at 50 percent. It never moves past that. I have left my laptop on for 3 hours and it hasn’t moved from that position. If you have any help it would be appreciated.

The installer needs to commit changes to partition tables, but cannot do so because partitions on the following mount points could not be unmounted:

/cdrom

Please close any applications using these mount points.

Would you like the installer to try to unmount these partitions again?

Similar to Truth above, I am getting the same error whilst installing and on exit it continues to start up the desktop. However, it seems to be running from the CD and not the Hdisk, based on the activity on CD Drive when selecting anything.

Error:
The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:

[Errno 5] Input/output error

This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.

this is the error

I installed 9.04 using the upgrade, all went well but at reboot, past the first screen with Ubunto and the line showing the loading in progress, I got a screen with 5 Ubuntu lined up and at the bottom of the screen a streaked rectangle white and light grey, system frozen. Are are the requirements for display different from previous version?

In some machines, when chose or run, or install, maybe necessary press F6, and in “other options” put “noapic”. In other way, without this, It’s not possible run the ubuntu.

It’s a bios problem. In mine ASUS M2N-X-Plus, it’s necessary

OK. I created a partition, unformatted, to use for Ubuntu. It gives me some funky development message or something, than goes into a “scanning disks” mode to go into partitioning … it gets to 50 percent and simply stalls out. How long does this / should this take? This is 9.04 I have from the Ubuntu site, 64-bit.
