Fails at 25% with The ext4 file system creation in partition#1 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. The machine seem think that Ubunut was already installed (after the initial botched installation). At about 75% of copying files it errored saying it couldn't copy a file and that it could be because the drive was faulty. Then attempted to install getting past the partition screen and into localization setup. I formatted the drive with 480GB EXT4 and 20GB linux-swap successfully. S.M.A.R.T was saying it has 2700 faulty sectors, which seemed a bit excessive and thought it might be confused. It had a 50gb unknown block (and the rest was free I think). Once I managed to get past it being stuck (by specifying gparted /dev/sda). When I looked at it having booted in with a live CD and tried to look at the disk in GParted it would get stuck at "scanning for devices". Wouldn't make it to the partition part of the installation instead it would be stuck at loading (as indicated by mouse cursor), using administrative tools still worked so it wasn't simply hung. After rebooting it was still detectable on the same machine. Putting the disk in one of the other machines (different hardware) gave the same input/output error during read /dev/sda. I put the jumper back in place, without any effect The drive is now undetected even in BIOS. Before clicking next I ran fdisk -l upon which it spewed out a bunch of error messages (can't remember what they said off-hand), it then ended up erroring with a input/output error message when I clicked next. I made it to the partition screen where I set it to have a 480GB EXT4 with a 20GB linux-swap. Wouldn't at first get detected in Ubuntu until I removed the jumper that was putting it in 1.5gb legacy mode. At the start I was using a DVD with Ubuntu, at the end I'm using a USB stick (as I thought perhaps the DVD was at fault.) Both the drives are Seagate Barracuda 500GB ST3500320AS. I've detailed below the process I've gone through in case it lends anyone a clue. Both the 500GB drives has now become undetectable and don't even show up in BIOS. I've been trying to setup Ubuntu but have been running into countless issues.
