Bug Description
I was trying to install a newer version of Ubuntu, 10.04/10.10. When I use live CD, it won't detect any existing OS or partitions. Same with Alternative installer: It won't see any partitions, just my hard drive. There have been many questions about this but none of them seemed to help.
I wanted to have a new version of Ubuntu but preferably without having to re-install windows as well. I really don't know where the partition table went. The installers just don;t see anything. Both operating systems work fine, GRUB is always working correctly.
The problem is described in more detail in question #159921. I hope this helps.
