Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installation via live-cd with 200gb 'free' space, two ntfs-partitions already existing with windows 7 RC1.
mountpoints does not seem to pop up correctly either - gparted nor the graphical installer shows the partitions correct.
Disks in 'fake raid' 1, with mobo controller, can mount 'em manually without problems. This is the 64-bit version of 9.10 (same with win 7). Previous bugreports does not really seem to fit the description for this - if I am wrong, please nullify this report.

Thank you in advance.
