[Bug 1126525] [NEW] Ubiquity does not see Windows installation

[Volkan Gezer]

Public bug reported:

I have Samsung NP300V5A with Windows 7 installed. I wanted to install
Kubuntu alongside Windows 7, but noticed that Ubiquity does not see my
Windows installation and would like to install itself into my all disk
(Please see screenshot here
http://s3.postimage.org/yr10wn25t/IMG_20130207_203301.jpg).

The suggestion was disabling UEFI in BIOS, but this was already
disabled. I also created a partition for Kubuntu (approx. 20gb), but
this also did not solve the problem.

I asked on kubuntu-devel mailing list, but would like to report is as a bug to be checked.
I asked to askubuntu.com and got a reply to install Ubuntu and then installing Kubuntu desktop, or using WUBI. But maybe this is a hardware  problem.

Last week, I tried the same thing with Ubuntu and ... It saw my Windows
7 installation and asked me if I would like to install it alongide...

If you need, I can download new alphas to test on my laptop.
