Bug Description

The problem started when I was trying to upgrade from ubuntu 13.04 to ubuntu 13.10 without a CD.. I downloaded the 13.10 version and ran it from the 13.04 one. The system crashed during the update. I, then, downloaded the 13.10 version and correctly burnt it on a DVD. I chose the "Re-install ubuntu 13.10" option to save my stuf on the 13.04 version. The installation stopped while it was copying file and I got that message telling me that it's unable to copy files to my hard drive, suspecting that it could be either too hot or corrupted. I cooled the ehole laptop down and retried, but I got the same message. I allowed a full report to be sent to ubuntu.

Do not use / boot CD to upgrade, that's not the default upgrade path.
