[Bug 798285] [NEW] Installer won't detect existing oS or partition table.

[Paul D]

Public bug reported:

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.
