Unfortunately without the log files we have nothing to go on here, so I
am closing this report.  If you can reproduce it, please attach

Title:
  files deleted by ubuntu during installation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  during the installation of 8.10 i was asked if i wanted to transfer
  files and settings from my windows partition, so of course i selected
  it to do so, but when the installation completed i wanted to play
  music while i finished customizing my desktop and what not.

  i went into my storage drive which is completely separate from my
  windows partition and drive that my Os's are on, and found that 95% of
  my files had been deleted, they were there before i installed on my Os
  drive on a separate partition and now they are gone, i attempted to
  use a recovery tool, recuva and it did not find anything that i had on
  the drive, it is like it never existed.

  now a little mad and at a loss for what happened here i am.

  my drives are set up like this.

  SATA0 sda1 windows / sda2 linux partitions SATA1 storage
