Binary package hint: ubiquity
I just had the Ubuntu Natty installer completly wipe out my Windows install.
I chose the option to "Erase Natty and install 11.04". It gave no confirmation of exactly what partitions it was going to act on. I clicked okay to erase Natty, and it wiped out the whole drive. Thankfully, this is a secondary system, so all I've lost is the time I spent setting up Windows 7.
I believe I had a partial Natty installation that had failed during install (liveusb squashfs errors), so I was thinking it would erase just that -- but nope, apparently Windows 7 is "Windows Natty".
Oddly enough, there was another entry for "Upgrade Natty to 11.04"; now I'm wondering whether it was going to upgrade that broken install, or somehow try to upgrade Windows.
