Triaged to Incomplete. Thanks for your bug submission and research.
Did the Live CD load successfully before you attempted to install? It's
unfortunate that OS installation can result in data loss of existing
partitions on the drive. The nature of repartitioning involves some
risk that cannot be entirely eliminated. The entire installation chain
needs to be perfect: Download an ISO image perfectly, burn a CD
perfectly, Load the CD such that your CDROM reader can read the entire
disk, then Load the LIVE CD to make sure that Ubuntu even works
correctly on the hardware, then install. Any failures in this chain can
cause fits. As you have discovered. Perhaps additional warnings can be
added at various steps, but once partitioning takes place, it's possible
for these problems to occur.
