I'm trying to get Ubuntu fully installed on an external SSD connected with a USBC cable. I want it to be fully installed, so it can work on any computer. The linux flashed thing is on a USB. The problem is that during the 'copying files' stage of the installation, I get Errno 5, Input / output error.
The first time I tried, I didn't realise I needed to disable the boot flags on the internal windows HDD. Linux was installed correctly with no errors - I could see the file system - but I couldn't boot from it.
The second time I tried, I disabled the boot flag on the internal hdd. Now when I try to install linux on the external SSD, I get the aforementioned error. I tried again and ran ubiquity no-migration-assistant before trying to install, but I got the same error.
