Public bug reported: I have a Dell Latitude D620 laptop, It has a single SATA disk, with existing NTFS and FAT32 partitions and lots of free space.
When I boot with my Edgy Knot 2 liveCD and launch the graphical installer, the disk is detected but not any of my existing partitions. The installer shows an empty, non partioned, totally unallocated disk. Curiously, if I launch Nautilius via Places > Computer, my NTFS and FAT32 volume labels are shown!! I tried launching the installer in text mode: exactly the same problem. I am disappointed with this, I didn't expect to run into this issue. I also tried a Dapper 6.06.1 liveCD, same results. I hoped that Edgy would fix the problem but so far it didn't. The problem is a bit frustrating, I can't afford wiping the existing partitions. Thanks! ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Edgy know 2 - Installer does not detect disk partitions https://launchpad.net/bugs/60639 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
