Unclear which part of disk will be allocated to Ubuntu when installing alongside other operating systems

[Kamal]

When installing Ubuntu alongside other operating systems, there is a step of the install asking to "Allocate drive space by dragging the divider below".
You are presented with two sections but it's unclear which one contains Windows and which one is going to contain Ubuntu.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have experienced this on my newly built desktop PC with the Ubuntu 12.04.1 64-bit live-cd, so just set it to also affect me.

[David (davisein-registro)]

It affects me in Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit. It is a dangerous bug that surprises new users seriously. My friend would have stopped installing Ubuntu if I don't look the answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/150550/installing-ubuntu-with-windows-which-is-left-and-right-when-allocating-space and assure him that even if there is a problem I can change the decision after.

It should be fixed and possible update the iso's available. If it happens it prevents the user for knowing what are they installing.

[Eduard Gotwig (gotwig)]

If you want to install Ubuntu alongside other operating systems, such as elementary or linux mint, the same problem persists.

I changed the description and the title.

[James Gifford (jamesgifford)]

this *really* should be fixed sooner, rather than later. Where to start?

[jatin sachdeva (jatin-sachdeva)]

This issue is still present in raring 13.04 beta. Its plain silly I need to look up the internet on another computer to figure this out in the middle of an install!

[Erlend Sogge Heggen (erlendsh)]

Was also just hit by this one when installing Lubuntu. I was lucky enough to have another computer hooked up to the internet handy. Not everyone will be so fortunate.

[Jason Robinson (jaywink)]

Just installing using the 13.10 latest daily build and this is very confusing :P

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

??? this has been fixed in saucy release.
