Was a response file used during install? (Yes/No):
- If No please describe install steps
1. Choose language.
2. Configure the network
3. Configure the clock
4. Detect the disks
5. Partition the disks
-> Choose guided then there is no error
-> Choose manual : prepboot, swap, '/' -> Error occurs with the message :
"Failed to remove conflicting files.The installer needs to remove operating system files from the install
target, but was unable to do so. The install cannot continue.

Point of failure:
3. Other failure during installation (stage 1) : While partitioning manually.
