"I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on a clean hard drive": "input/output error during write on /dev/sdb" indicates that the system is unable to write to /dev/sdb.
please begin by opening a terminal and providing the output of:
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
If this fails, it's likely either the drive or the cable connecting it is bad.

Try disk destroyer("dd") command, google for disk destroyer command , be extra careful on which partition it is being used. If this does not work then you device is broken, there is no way to fix it.
