Hi everyone, Im getting this error trying to install Ubuntu.

It tried the following without any luck:
Ubuntu 20.04
Ubuntu 19,04
Pop-OS 20.04
Tried having the VDI disk on an SSD and a regular disk
Disabled Hyper-V from Windows functions
Dynamic and fixed sizes for virtual drives

I have a 9700K, 16Gb Ram and an AUS motherboard. I have activated virtualization in bios.

Anyone have an idea what can couse this? Uses VM Ubuntu on my old 6700K without any issues.

I reckon that there may have been more to the error message than just that phrase, though I might be wrong. Please post full error messages, using the Copy button in the error popup if there is one.

These would not influence the error:

Hyper-V is probably not fully disabled yet, it can be a harder beast to kill off. Go through every step in I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests. For further info, see https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/139 ... puter.html

This is the entire message

The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[Errno 5] Input/output error
This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.

But I thought Hyper-V would improve performace for VMs?

Reading the forum shows very much the opposite at this time. The devs are working on it, but it's a work in progress, and it is very unstable or a non-starter so far. See "VirtualBox 6.0 and Hyper-V" viewtopic.php?f=6&t=90853

Disabeling Hyper-V did the trick. Thanks!

Great! Glad you're up and running.
