input output error during install
'input output error during install' would have been a much better subject.
Note that some users search for subjects, and most questions are more or less 'errors'.
Otherwise questions will get asked (and probably answered) over and over again.
What was the question, again?
Ah - 27% ...
Well, catch these messages:
Code:
INSTALL_COMMAND 1>install_log.txt 2>&1
will write the output (1) and the error-messages (2) to a logfile.
'2>&1' just means 'write errors to the same location as normal messages.
Then open that install_log.txt with an editor, and cut'n'paste it here.
You're sure, that there is enough disk-space on the partition?
Of course you use your install-command instead of 'INSTALL_COMMAND'.

There is enough disk space. I have 7gig on the partion this should be going on.
I wonder could my hard drive now be corrupt. I have also tryed installing other OSs without luck. but then why would it have worked at all?

Do you use knx-hdinstall for installation?
If yes, my hint with a log-file will not work, since it is an interactive script.
Can you protocoll the error message in detail?
-
All it says is
cp: reading `filename': input/output error
I think it might be a hard drive problem beacuse when I tryed to install windows thats what it said.

'reading' looks more as an error from the cd, but then you wouldn't get the same error for a linux-install. Of course, installation-programs may write some data to disk, and read it later.
I would try to verify the partition (fdisk?) and rebuild the filesystem (you tried to install windows and linux to the same filesystem? that doesn't sound reasonable... or is it a different partition on the same drive? or did you create a different filesystem intermediate?)
If fdisk tells errors too, I would go for a new harddrive.

I am having the same problem also, but I suspect that my dvd rom drive is messing up.
