Cannot install 10.10 or any other distro on new 32 GB SuperTalentSSD. It is recognized by Bios, but Error says: Input/output error during write on dev/sda. Installed 10.04 on 16 GB SuperTalent SSD earlier without problems. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks.

Something similar happened to me when trying to install ubuntu on my ssd drive. The reason was, that the drive was not formatted at all. I used a live usb stick to get the computer up and running. Using G-parted (can be found under system or you need to download it via synaptics) I was able to format the drive and than the install worked flawlessly.

Thanks for your answer. I made a live usb stick and got Dell mini 9 running, but G-parted unable to format the SSD apparently due to an input/output error. – Donald Walling Jun 06 '11 at 05:09
