Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
this seems like it could be similar to #60868.
during the partition step of the installer, sda is not coming up at all either in manual partition or automatically partition.
there are 2 other disks, sdb and sdc, sdb has windows installed on it.
none of the drives are mounted.

The 9.10RC Karmic Koala ubiquity disk partitioning steps (#4, #5 in the installation screens) seem to have regressions when booting the AMD64 ubuntu live desktop CD on systems with multiple disks.
On one system, the "side by side" radio button only showed sdc. "Erase" would allow choosing sda, sdb, or sdc. The "manual" partitioning option showed all partitions on all three drives and seemed normal.
On another system, recently loaded with windows 7 professional on a 250 GB sda, the "side by side" radio button line was missing entirely, and the manual option didn't show either the sda or the sdb SATA disk drives (intel chipset).
It looked normal on a system with only 1 SATA drive.
