[Bug 1884218] [NEW] xubuntu groovy qa-test install - cannot change drive to install to (install alongside)

[Chris Guiver]

Public bug reported:

Xubuntu groovy/20.10 qa-test install
attempt to install alongside on internal drive (has prior qa-test install of ubuntu-studio on it)
box : hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

** Description of Problem
At the "Select Drive" (Install Xubuntu 20.10 alongside Ubuntu Groovy Gorilla) screen it has the drop down button and lists
"SCSI3 (0.0.0) (sdb) - 3.0TB WD Elements 107C  \t\t\t 290.0 GB"
but won't let me select the internal drive at all (which is smaller than 290gb)

My guess is the 290GB is how much free space is available, however I
want to install to the internal drive (that I use for qa-testing), and
not my 'backups' drive.  I suspect this is the reason, and I'm betting
this is a duplicate bug sorry

** Expected Result
I'd expect to be able to select my internal drive for it to "install alongside"

Notes:   `ubuntu-bug ubiquity` crashes with python errors, thus this is done via firefox on another box, I'll try apport-collect once I have a bug report number, but it may fail too.  I also tried to get print-screens, but it won't work either (a different bug)
