Thanks for reporting this. Is this with the live CD installer ? If yes, it is quite essential that you reproduce the crash and attach /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, by commenting on the bug's web page? Once again, thanks for your feedback.
Hint 1: The partitions have to be reformatted (which you already mentioned, but just making sure ) Hint 2: Check that the CD is OK. This can be done by selecting the "Verify CD for defects" option in the main menu. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged => Medium Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Installer crashes during data copy https://launchpad.net/bugs/59082 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
