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

[Gaurav Butola]

I am having this issue with 11.10 . Ubiquity doesn't detect the existing windows 7 partition and when I choose to manually partition the disk, I can't see any partition there.
When I log into the live system and open Disk Utility, It shows my HDD partitions fine but Ubiquity for some reason is unable to detect them.
Can't install 11.10 'cause of this issue :(

Title:
  Installer won't detect existing oS or partition table.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
