Hello everyone
I have been using zorin for 4 years from now. And today i thought reinstalling would be a great idea because my pc felt laggy lately.
So i created zorin 17.3 boot media on my pendrive and i cleared my whole hard drive to install zorin
but after the installation started i got the errno 5 which told it was due to a faulty hard drive i thiught my iso was corrupted so i reinstalled the iso file and burned it onto 2 usb drives i used both of them but there was no luck with errno 5.
My hard disk is not corrupt as i had zorin and windows 11 dual booting but windows is slow so i was removing it and now my hard disk is wiped out and i dont have access to another computer and another os
I guess i am screwed Please Help as soon as possible
I tried running installation from same media and now its stuck on getting time from server from 15 mins
i tried running without install updates during installation and no third party drivers and i am getting this
i will proceed with install anyway but pls help
i dont have any os and the usb stick is my last hope
Make sure that secure boot and fast boot in your BIOS are disabled.
Try it without installing other graphics drivers, you can add them afterwards.
You can also use safe graphics for the install.
You can also check whether your USB stick has been formatted in the same format as your computer. If you are using a legacy BIOS, in MBR, and if you are using UEFI, in GPT.
If nothing helps, you can post a screenshot of your partitioning. Start Zorin from the USB stick with "Try Zorin" and start gparted. Then you can see if the mount points are set correctly.
Hi and welcome.
One of the essential things to do after downloading any .iso is to verify it's checksum before deploying it to your installation media, did you do that?
The error issue could be any of the following:
" Ubuntu Installation Error
When encountering an "Errno 5 - Input/output error" during the installation of Ubuntu 22.04, it often indicates a hardware issue such as a faulty USB drive, a bad CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It could also be due to a corrupted ISO file or an issue with the write process to the installation media.23
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:
-
Verify the integrity of the ISO file by checking its checksum against the official Ubuntu download page.
-
Use a different USB drive or CD/DVD to create the bootable installation media.
-
Ensure the USB drive is properly formatted and does not contain any errors.
-
Try installing Ubuntu using a different USB port or a powered USB hub if you are using a USB drive.
-
Clean the CD/DVD drive lens or burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed if you are using a CD/DVD.
-
Check if the hard disk is old and might need replacement or move the system to a cooler environment.
-
Disable any virtualization technologies like Hyper-V in the BIOS settings.
-
Ensure that the USB drive is not being used for other purposes during the installation process.
If the problem persists after trying these steps, it might be helpful to consult the Ubuntu community forums or Ask Ubuntu for further assistance.

Additional checks in the BIOS is to ensure that any setting named RAID is changed to AHCI.
