I got the same problem - installing ubuntu. My hard disk is also emitting certain weird noise. What other option do i have rather then replacing my HDD? should i try installing ubuntu through USB. If yes how exactly should i go about with it?

Thanking you in anticipation.

If you think you may have hardware issues with your HDD, you should check it's SMART status. Boot your computer with an Ubuntu LiveCD and check your drive status through Disk Utility (System -> Administration menu).
