[Bug 985358] Re: installation crash (migrating documents) none selected

[Greg Faith]

No Brian there was not a Windows partition at all on the HDD.  It is a
testing HDD that I use only when iso-testing.  I even removed all
partitions and had nothing but free unallocated space and tried a full
drive install that failed in the migration of documents and settings.
Strange huh?

I believe on the initial installation attempt I did have a full drive
encrypted install left on the HDD.  I will save the 20120418 spin and
continue to test the new spins to check for improvement.  This same type of
crash happen earlier in the Beta 2 testing that cleared up in a new spin. I
thought about maybe a badly created USB but Live session and manual install
worked fine.
