I've deleted enough stuff on my original Windows folder in order to make
the copying fit the new partition. I wasn't enought, the installation
still crashed.

More info :
I had originally a partition sdb3 that contained my /home. I wasn't sure how 
Ubuntu would manage it : if I chose the same user, would it overwrite the 
documents, should I chose another one, I didn't know so I made a copy of sdb3 
on sdb8. Eventhough I choosed sdb3 to be formatted and be called /home the 
installer was using sdb8.

I had no option to chose what i want to import until I delete my backup 
partition sdb8.
Since this, the installatation was successful.

I suggest that there is a short documentation at the partitioning stage
so people understand how ubuntu will manage their backup user partition
on a new installation.
