I tried the installation again. It worked. The first time I selected to update Ubuntu and install 3d party software while Ubuntu was installing. Second time I did not select those options and it worked. I'm not sure if it indeed the hard drive. Instead of using an external hard drive I used my internal HDD which has many more bad sectirs and yet it worked. It definitely appears to be an issue with these ticking off these options. Thank you
