[Bug 474717] Re: installer doesn't let me partition any harddrive

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD).
Please retry your installation with new media and if it still fails I'd
recommend testing your CD drive with other media.  In the event that is
is not in fact an error with your installation media please set the
bug's status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  installer doesn't let me partition any harddrive

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  installer doesn't list any harddrive to partition,
  but using a terminal and using gparted , parted or cfdisk shows /dev/sda 40GB disk which I can partition. Why won't the installer list this drive and use it? Ive tried both using IDE legacy and IDE native mode in bios configuration.
