Title:
  Installer won't detect existing oS or partition table.

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I was trying to install a newer version of Ubuntu, 10.04/10.10. When I
  use live CD, it won't detect any existing OS or partitions. Same with
  Alternative installer: It won't see any partitions, just my hard
  drive. There have been many questions about this but none of them
  seemed to help.

  I wanted to have a new version of Ubuntu but preferably without having
  to re-install windows as well. I really don't know where the partition
  table went. The installers just don;t see anything. Both operating
  systems work fine, GRUB is always working correctly.

  The problem is described in more detail in question #159921. I hope
  this helps.
