I think this goes here. "Replace Windows 8" option also erases entire disk
I have HDD which until recently had two partitions: NTFS with legitimate Windows 8 and ext4 with Fedora 20. I decided to install Ubuntu instead of Windows, just to give Ubuntu a try. I took "replace windows 8" option (мy thoughts were: "What a service!") during installation, assuming that only windows 8 will be removed. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Ubuntu "replaced" entire disk with itself. installer log attached. ** Attachment added: "installer.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1265192/+attachment/4115658/+files/installer.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265192 Title: Reinstallation wipes out all/other partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1265192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
