Installation Error

Asked by kelly

Can install 'try ubuntu', but when I do the actual install it stops midway and says that the drive is read-only, sends and launches the try ubuntu version again. Any solutions?

After the installation fails, can you please open the Terminal application, run the command…

sudo lshw -c volume,disk; mount; lsb_release -a; dmesg|tail

…and copy the output for us? Thanks!
