Bug Description
Using Ubuntu 8.10 x86-64
My hard drive is partitioned into 3 primary partitions (3 x NTFS (WinXP, Music, and Photos). And two logical linux partitions (main and a swap) from a previous install of Ubuntu Studio 8.04 x86-64.
I expect that when i get to the partitioner during the install it should show me all my partitions and allow me to select which ones to delete so i can install a fresh Linux.
The partitioner shows me the whole hard drive as one unformatted partition. I then can't boot back into windows, so i have to use a tool called testdisk which analyses the hard-drive and put the partition table back together. No data is deleted, but it seems if you have a full hard-drive (ie partitions take up the entire hard drive space) then partitioner will delete all the partitions even before you say its ok to.
Is this bug still valid with currently supported Ubuntu versions?
