Title:
  HDD not bootable if ubiquity fails

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  If Ubiquity fails for some reason (for me, it was a
  corrupted/unreadable CD), it leaves my existing NTFS Windows partition
  unbootable (boot flag is not set).

  It took me about 3 hours to figure this out and restore the partition.

  Can you imagine how it feels - being left without bootable HD? :(

  This is not an exact duplicate of the following bugs, but it might be related:

  So I am filing it again here.

  Please, this is a REALLY serious bug.
