Title:
  partitioner deletes all partitions without authorisation duing install

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 8.10 x86-64

  My hard drive is partitioned into 3 primary partitions (3 x NTFS
  (WinXP, Music, and Photos). And two logical linux partitions (main and
  a swap) from a previous install of Ubuntu Studio 8.04 x86-64.

  I expect that when i get to the partitioner during the install it
  should show me all my partitions and allow me to select which ones to
  delete so i can install a fresh Linux.

  The partitioner shows me the whole hard drive as one unformatted
  partition. I then can't boot back into windows, so i have to use a
  tool called testdisk which analyses the hard-drive and put the
  partition table back together. No data is deleted, but it seems if you
  have a full hard-drive (ie partitions take up the entire hard drive
  space) then partitioner will delete all the partitions even before you
  say its ok to.
