Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with the disk to which you are trying to
install Ubuntu.  I'd recommend performing a back up of your existing
operating system and then investigating the situation.  Measures you
might take include checking cable connections for your disks and using
software tools to investigate the health of your hardware.  In the event
that is is not in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's
status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  Fresh install of Ubunto 11.10 crashed during importation of documents
  and settings. Trying to install on a partition containing iminent
  failing disk

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This is my first attempt to install any *nix OS and so I attempted to
  install to a previously sectioned off partition due to it's
  fallibility. I set it to import the docs and settings of my other OS's
  and when the installer attempted to import, it hung up at that point
  for about 25 min and crashed.
