Ubuntu CD Installer crashes with "erron5 input/output error"

Question

I had 12.04 installed on a Satellite l635. I wanted to start over with a fresh install because I had experimented with a bunch of different things, and computer was getting glitchy and random freezes.

I used the same ISO I used for original install, and it keeps saying that the installer crashed with a erron5 input/output error.

Tried an older ISO for 11.10 I had used in the past with same issue. To see if it was disc or computer (not a great idea) I tried the 12.04 ISO on another laptop. Now I have 2 laptops with no OS. Both discs however live boot on both systems.

Please help. I've searched forums and can't find the same problem.

Please verify your ISO and burnt cd with md5sum directions can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM — Histo, Sep 01 '12 at 18:23
I just got done with a fresh iso download, and no, the numbers on new download do not match. It came directly fom the ubuntu page, unless it bounced me somewhere els. Checking old disc in a seecond. Thanks. — Mike, Sep 01 '12 at 19:54

Try not to download iso with a download manager if you are using one . Downloading via torrent is a good option . The md5sum should match , else it shows that your download is corrupt .
