Re: "Unknown error" with attempts to install various Linux distros

Mmm, something isn't happy. Can you confirm you are doing this as root or via sudo?
Further to that, can you do;
ls -la /dev/sda
So we can see what the permissions on the block device node are?
It sounds like the partition table on the devices is stuffed, maybe a wipe of the partition table would clear the issue?
