Can't install ANY distro other than Ubuntu 7
I'm using a Fujitsu Amilo Pro V2085 which has bee running Mint 7 very well for quite a while until a few days ago when it stopped working (just froze). Since then I've tried to install several distros from CD and Pendrive - list includes Mint 8, Ubuntu 9.1, PC/OS, Slitaz, Puppy, Lubuntu. All run ok from Live CD but none will install. I get an input/output error about 23% of the way in telling me to clean the drive and/or the CD. Even when installing from Pendrive. The only thing I can get to install is Ubuntu 7, which is fine but a bit dated. Any ideas why I can't install anything else people?
Sorry - Mandriva 10 also installed, but I couldn't get wifi working, so that wasn't much use.
