I can confirm that the card-reader might have some connection (direct or otherwise) with the difficulties: on my XP machine, I clicked on "safely remove hardware" for the built-in card reader, and the error message failed to appear. A restart (to reconnect the card reader) and the error returned. Looking to lspci for clues to manufactures, it wasn't immediately obvious which (internal) USB port was responsible for the card reader, but ATI was mentioned a few times.
Trying the same disk on another machine with a built-in card reader, but running Vista. there was no error. This machine has what lspci describes as a Texas Instruments 5-in-1 multimedia card reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says "no disk" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
