[Bug 1263226] [NEW] fatal error on win8.1 second sda

[johnjyates]

Public bug reported:

I installed a second sata drive on Windows 8.  Experimented with using
it for file backup.  Then upgraded to Windows 8.1.  Then formatted the
second drive in Windows 8.1.  Then I tried installing Ubuntu 13.10 64
bit from bootable iso.  The installer told me there were no operating
systems.  I selected the second (freshly formatted disc) and the
installer then informed me I'd deleted 4 parititions.  I cancelled the
install and repeated the process.  This time the installer informed me
the boot loader could not install on the second hard drive.
