I am attempting to install Ubuntu 15.04 on a new machine on a new machine and it’s not working. Here are my system specs:
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P
- CPU: AMD FX-6300
- Storage: SanDisk SDSSDA-120G-G25
I have created a USB flash drive installer using Rufus for Ubuntu 15.04. The installer starts when the machine boots, and then when I go to the page where it asks me to format the drive, I choose to “Erase disk and install Ubuntu” and clicked install now. It then asks me to confirm that I am erasing all contents and it is going to create partitions for root and swap. I click continue and soon after that screen I get an error saying
The attempt to mount file system with type ext4 in SCSI5 (0,1,0), partition #1 (sda) at / failed.
I have tried this multiple times and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. The disk is a brand new SSD.
