Bug Description

I had installed Mythbuntu 14.0.4.1 LTS version i386 86_x64 on an HP pc that is actually an AMD x64.
So, I decided to burn the latest ios for Mythbuntu AMD x64 and perform a fresh installation.
During the install, the installer prompted me that it had crashed.
I'm not sure how far along the actual installation had progressed. I'm pretty sure it had already partitioned the disk.
