Title:
  HDD(s) incorrectly detected

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I have the following system:

  500GB - WesternDigital WD500AKS-0 - empty/unpartitioned
  160GB - Maxtor 6YM160M0 - Contains various paritions including Ubuntu 9.04
  160GB - Maxtor 6YM160M0 - empty/unpartitioned

  All of the above HDD are connected to a built in SATA controller
  (ICH8R) on my Intel motherboard.

  I currently have no problems with my Ubuntu installation.

  I just tried to run 9.10 RC and after the GUI loaded it told the 2
  Maxtor drives contained errors etc.  It couldn't detect anything on
  either 160GB and said there were numerous bad sectors.

  At this point I ran the full installer to see what the partition tool
  in the installer had to say.  It could detect the 500GB WD but
  described the 2x160GB Maxtors as being a 320GB RAID array.  No wonder
  it thinks the drives are corrupted!  These drives are not in a RAID
  array.

  Any ideas why the partitioner thinks they are?

  Thanks in advance

  p.s. I've just seen the message below to post some logs.  I'll try and
  post these files in a minute...
