I know the discussion here where they are not getting the same error as me.
I use Lenovo ThinkPad X60.
The default partition table: sd1 ext4 53.91GB, sd2 extended 1.99GB and sd5 swap 1.99GB.
I get Input/output error during read on
/dev/sda` when trying to install from live CD -mode and when trying to install directly. I get the error normally at the stage of choosing time zone or very last at choosing the keyboard layout. Then there is the box with buttons: Back, Ignore and Continue. None of them enable the procedure to go forward, so I need to cancel it.
How can you install Ubuntu to an SSD?
