I'm installing ubuntu 14.04 on a machine which currently runs windows 8.
I selected the option to completely erase the hard drive and do a clean install of ubuntu. I also selected the options to download updates and install 3rd party software. Ubuntu ran fine off the usb, but now im trying to install it, it copies around 80% of the files, but then seems to freeze. I can still click through the features, and the task bar buttons seems responsive, but the cursor is stuck on the spinning mode and the loading bar hasn't moved for at least 15 mins.
Is it safe to reboot to try again?
Any help would be much appreciated

Install it without selecting to install the updates during installation. You can also try again with the latest release Ubuntu 15.04.
