Comment 11 for bug 186711

I still get the problem on the hardy daily (i386) cd of 31/01/08... as in the test http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/result/1258/54

"I fill in all of the data of the installer, I manually partition.

After pressing the final install button, I get first "Removing conflicting operating system files" but this hangs for at least a couple of minutes. I then press skip on the dialog and I get "The installer needs to remove operating system files from the install target, but was unable to do so. The install cannot continue.".

This was on a dual boot system, and if I reboot I get a grub 15 error, and the windows boot partition is completely erased."
