[Bug 1225534] [NEW] erase ubuntu 12.04 and install claims whole hard disk

[Shashank VRSN Sabniveesu]

Public bug reported:

My friend's laptop came with Windows8 pre-installed on which I installed
Ubuntu 12.04 for dual-booting. Next I booted with Ubuntu 13.04 USB drive
and chose 'Erase Ubuntu 12.04 and install 13.04' option. The 'disks'
program shows that my entire hard disk as 'ext4' which means my windows
partition got erased too.

I can't boot into Windows8 at all..
