erase ubuntu 12.04 and install claims whole hard disk

[Shashank VRSN Sabniveesu]

My friend's laptop came with Windows8 pre-installed on which I installed Ubuntu 12.04 for dual-booting. Next I booted with Ubuntu 13.04 USB drive and chose 'Erase Ubuntu 12.04 and install 13.04' option. The 'disks' program shows that my entire hard disk as 'ext4' which means my windows partition got erased too.

I can't boot into Windows8 at all..

Hi Simon! I haven't run into such a situation again ever after. You may close/mark this bug as appropriate. I'll file a new bug, should I reproduce it again. Thank you
