Failed Installation with Error Code 141

That is strange.

So let's start from the beginning. Where did you download the Kubuntu ISO (i.e., Windows, Linux, what machine)? What did you use to burn the ISO to the USB drive?

I have successfully installed Kubuntu on three Acer Aspire laptops using a USB stick. I tried to install it to an HP laptop using the same USB stick and Irun into a problem. After I tell it to download the third-party software and press continue, I get the following error:

ubi-partman failed with exit code 141. Further information may be found in /var/log/syslog.Do you want to try running this step again before continuing? If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken.

I went and looked at the syslog file and I noticed that for one, it was saying that the computer was an Acer Aspire when it is supposed to be an HP.Secondly, it says that secure boot is enable causing the kernel tolockdown. I do not understand that because I had already disabled secure boot in my BIOS. Just to make sure, I went and checked it and secure boot is still disabled. I even cleared the secure boot key history. My HP was setup as a Raid but I did change that to non-Raid.I really am lost at this point. I was hoping that someone could help me.
