Please try to avoid superfluous information and focus on one issue when reporting a bug. Also please provide a detailed description of the problem you are trying to report. In this case, let's focus on the crash while trying to reinstall. When you tried to reinstall, which option did you choose? Did you do manual partitioning and try to reuse the existing partitions without formatting them?
