Reproducing: Running os-prober several times on a live-cd system may produce error messages. This is less time consuming than running ubiquity to reproduce the errors, but I verified the success of the suggested patches below by running both os-prober and ubiquity (up to the verification screen).
Since this bug is prompted by asynchronous processes results can be haphazard. Circumvention: Mount all partitions to the live-cd system using sudo mkdir /media/hdxx sudo mount /dev/hdxx /media/hdxx (using using Applications/Accessories/Terminal) the target partitions should probably be unmounted with the sudo umount command before proceeding with formatting and installation. I haven't tried going on beyond the verification screen. or more easily and perhaps more safely: Bring up Home Folder from the Places menu Select Edit->Preferences Select the Media Tab Check the second last selection at the bottom: "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion" Please let me know if I can help with further information or otherwise.
