Hello Kali Community,

I just recently downloaded and made a USB installer with Kali 1.0.7 ISO so I can format my computer. I'd like to hopefully, use the whole disk for the installation. What's on it is Ubuntu, my main OS. Nothing else is installed on the HDD, Ubuntu uses all the space.

When I am in the installation process, after it ask's me the basic settings like language, keyboard, the installer then tries to detect hardware to find CD-ROM drivers. After a moment, it fails and gives an error with the following message: "Error Reading Release File".

I searched the forums, but posts regarding this are really old, and the replies weren't really that helpful. I've googled, but nothing certain really seems to come up as to the cause or fix for this.

I am running a Lenovo G480 intel core i3, 6GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Any help regarding this will be really appreciated.

Thank you all for your time.
