[Ubuntu Foundation's Bug Bot]

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:
  hard disk crushed during format

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hello,

   I had some problems trying formating my hard disk with windows 7 and
  I have decided to install the last edition of ubuntu to avoid the
  annoying windows things. I made a usb disk for the installation. When
  I first entered I got a hard disk failure problem and I cannot even
  run the examine program. When I started the format process and the
  installation of the ubuntu, I got a failure  message saying that the
  hard disk crushed during the installation. Anyone knows what I have to
  do?
