[Bug 1325299] Re: installer for Kubuntu 14.04 does not recognize existing windows install and will not give the option to resize partitions.

[Parth Panchal]

I tried to reproduce this bug by installing `Kubuntu 14.10 (Plasma 5)` & `Kubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) Daily Build` into a VM with its storage already having Windows 7 installed, but ubiquity detects the Windows partition as expected.
This bug may be caused due to some stray GPT data on a storage having MBR scheme, as explained in this solution: http://superuser.com/a/778813

Title:
  installer for Kubuntu 14.04 does not recognize existing windows
  install and will not give the option to resize partitions.

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Kubuntu installer does not recognize previously installed operating
  systems and offer the option to install alongside it. I was only given
  the option to use the entire disk or setup the partition myself.  To
  test this I tried to install Ubuntu 14.04 and it recongnized my
  wondows 7 partition just fine and offered the option to install
  alongside it.
