you could maybe be tempted to partition your hard drive manually , like in the old days and its how i still do mine ? you can use gParted from a live linux OS running from a usb stick .in my case (for slackware) used cgdisk to create EFI partition. I'm sure you will get others to give guidance if you go that route- if you do you can't fail to learn something .
one of the images is giving you a clue; can you paste output here of /var/log/syslog ?

Input/Ouput disk errors are usually a sign of a broken disk.
The one mention in your screenshot is sda, that is probably the disk that you are trying to do your install on so I suspect that is the disk which is broken. When you are live booted, can you do another dmesg and then like this and share the output.
Code:
dmesg | grep sd
Where are you seeing those error messages for all 4 disks, in the last screenshot(ubuntu-2.jpg) I only count 3 disks? Can you also share the output of lsblk?
Can you create a separate usb stick with Mint on it and boot your system with that so that we can try a few things, since it seems you were booted in the command-line from a failed installation or or boot into a live Ubuntu desktop environment.
Ive been messing around with the server and reconfigured to raid5, all drives showed up there. But now I get message when booting off USB that it wont pull IP from DHCP. Which I don't see how, I have dhcp on my switch
omg. its fixed! idk what happened but it crashed yesterday. I reconfigured the raid, flashed a new USB like you said and now its installed. thank you so much f33dm3bits
You didn't mention raid in your original post with your setup that's why I though it might have been a disk failure on de disk you were installing since the input/output errors, but if the raid wasn't setup correctly or something when wrong with the raid setup than that can cause problems too. Glad I was able to help you out, you did the work yourself I just helped think along with you.
