Sorry this is a bug. Nobody should have to reinstall it 6 ou 7 time
until they realise that the system doesn't tell what it needs to work
properly. Nobody should i have to desactivate something to make it work
properly, and where whould i call this : "ubiquity --no-migration-
assistant". I don't want to know, I just want it to work.

Solution to correct this bug:
1- After a manual partitionning, Ubiquity check if there a partition that is already called /home and make the user chose. (something like : Oh I see you already have an installation on /home, you're a cleaver linux user so I'll make you save your datas, do you want to use the same user name or create another one and access your datas once Ubuntu is fully installed?
2- If it's too complicated, obey to what the user said. If he chose a new partition to be /home, don't look anywhere else, and install it to this exact location. So the user can try to restore is data hardfully later (mine are already lost). 

Once this is done, the migration assistant work perfectly and make the
user chose if they want to import their Windows documents. (my
recommandation would be to just to make a shortcut instead of a copy).

Hope this bug get solved by a programmer, not by the users.
