Let's just get one thing out of the way, quickly. I don't use forums much, nor am I familiar with standard forum social protocols. My apologies.
I have a laptop that was just replaced, so I decided to have a little fun with the old one and install 11.04. I was ready for a fresh start with the old one, and I had previously moved all the important contents of the HDD to my external, and then to another computer runnin W7. Unfortunately, the installer made it to the end of its task, at which point an error appeared that said something or other couldn't be loaded from the CD. (I was booting from USB at that time.)
I tried again, and it made it to the same point in the install cycle, the very end, at which point a window appeared and said: "The installer has crashed." and then some business about reporting a bug by doing x y and z.
Honestly, I just want to wipe the drive on my computer and install 11.04 from scratch. Why is this so darned difficult an idea?

If it helps, my computer is an Acer Aspire 3680 that used to run Windows Vista, and later, Windows 7.
