During install this has been happening to me when mounting and ext4
/home partition without format or when I try to install with an
unformatted ntfs /windows partition.

Title:
12.04 Installer stuck on 'Removing conflicting operating system files'
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When installing 12.04 on a hard drive with two partitions (/ & /home)
formatting only the / partition results in the installer hanging on
"Removing conflicting operating system files" after it has wiped away
the / partition. This leaves an unusable system.
When I install Ubuntu, I format the /(root) partition, but leave the
/home unformatted and mount it. This means I can keep all my files and
preferences while having a clean Ubuntu install.
My home directory is encrypted, so my theory is that the installer is
unable to get into my home dir and hangs. Since this step happens
before the login details are provided.
This is a pretty serious regression IMHO, since it breaks the current
install and prevents the new install from completing.
