[Bug 1335012] [NEW] Installing to a USB HD stick crashes

[Stefan Lindblad]

Public bug reported:

I've tried several times, but it keeps crashing, usually saying that it
does not have permission to remove some file and then crashing the
installer. It fails earlier if I try to create new partiotions on the
destination USB-stick.

The destination USB-stick is a Kingston DataTraveler Workspace 64 GB
(USB 3.0) and I'm running on a Lenovo Thinkpad X240 USB3-capable laptop,
with secure boot disabled and legacy bios mode.
