** Description changed: I've attempted to install Ubuntu 11.10 about 8 times within the last 24 hours. Sometimes it freezes completely on "saving installed packages", but most of the time it scans the CD-ROM/USB, says "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD-ROM has failed", and the installer shuts down and tells me the installation is complete. However, if I wait long enough to restart, the message "Installer has crashed" appears, which took me to this site after clicking on a few buttons. Also, if I attempt to boot my system after this supposed installation, the blinking underscore flashes until I turn off my computer because my boot loader is either non-existent or broken. Ubuntu installer crashes every time I attempt to install the operating system. It only worked the first time, but I messed up my root password and was forced to format the hard drive and reinstall Ubuntu. Since then, it has not worked at all. - I'm dumb, and I'm not sure how to attach those files....
