I run Ubuntu Studio 13.07, 64 bit ("raring") I went through similar problems;
I'n not a Linux expert but I'll share what I did...it hopefully may help.
1) When you said you checked for errors, I found out (by Googling for answers)
that clicking the "check for defects" button was not enough. I went to the
Ubuntu Installation instructions on the
Ubuntu website and it had instructions for the best way to error check using
what they call "checksums".
2) I too, had to be patient...lots of times, on various installs (I've tried
several different distros, and Ubuntu Studio is my favorite--I do lots of
Photography and guitar related stuff.
So, many times, I have discovered that-unlike my experiences with Microsoft
Windows-there isn't an hour glass or progress bar showing what's going on. But
I DO hear the hard drive working.
And, yes, patience paid off. Good luck; I'm glad to help if I can. Just
remember, I am not a professional Ubuntu user. There is a learning curve....my
daily morning meditation helps a lot.
~Cheers, Leo
