[Bug 1084547] Re: Unclear which part of disk will be allocated to Ubuntu when installing alongside Windows

[David]

It affects me in Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit. It is a dangerous bug that
surprises new users seriously. My friend would have stopped installing
Ubuntu if I don't look the answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/150550
/installing-ubuntu-with-windows-which-is-left-and-right-when-allocating-
space and assure him that even if there is a problem I can change the
decision after.

It should be fixed and possible update the iso's available. If it
happens it prevents the user for knowing what are they installing.
