Just chiming in to say that I got burned by this during Xubuntu 14.04 installation. I previously had Windows 7 and Linux Mint Nadia in a dual boot configuration. My options were:
* Install alongside Linux Mint Nadia * Overwrite Linux Mint Nadia * ...something custom, I think... I chose to overwrite Linux Mint Nadia, and it wiped the entire disk, including my Windows partition. :( I was hoping there would be a point in the installer where it would provide a summary of the actions it was about to perform, but it jumps straight into the installation without showing you anything like that. If I had seen a summary of the actions the installer was going to take, I would have stopped it. Still not sure how much data I lost at this point. -- 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: Install/reinstall 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
