[Bug 1424028] [NEW] Can't reinstall ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a linux laptop running ubuntu 14.04 LTS for a fresh install

[Kevin Woolbright]

Public bug reported:

I have converted some old Windows 7 laptops to ubuntu 14.04 LTS and
everything worked fine.  The software guys used the laptops for some
time.  I wanted to recycle a couple of these laptops to fresh installs
of ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and downloaded new copies of the .iso files.  I
started the install process and everthing seemed to work as i expected
then near the end of the install I got a message box the the 'Installer
crashed.....".  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
