Public bug reported: Installer stopped during reinstall, reporting that it could not remove system files from the existing disk. Existing disk was 1 13.04 install that was not boot ing due to another disk going bad and being removed. Install offered oftion of unmounting /dev/sdb (the Ubuntu disk), but this did not help. /dev/sda is Win XP - boot sector was being written to /dev/sdb.
