[Bug 905621] Re: Tried dual boot install with Vista. Installer crashed

[JeanAustinR]

So that's what's causing the problem. I guess we can agree that this is
not an installer bug but a hardware error. If yes, I'll convert this to
a question and request you to mark it as closed.

On the other hand, you can still check the erratic hard drive for bad
blocks using this command: sudo badblocks -n -v /dev/sdx (sda1, etc). If
it also mounts to the already installed Ubuntu, open Disk Utility and
look for the SMART status.
