[Bug 909955] [NEW] not recognising installed windows OS partition in install window

[Jay Millington]

Public bug reported:

i've installed windows 7 to 50gb partition, the rest of my hdd is
unallocated.

when i check in terminal - it registers that SDA1/2 have stuff on them
(I was using #ubuntu for help on commands), however in the screen for
choosing what to do - after the WIFI screen, it said no OS found,
install or something else, something else just shows unallocated space.

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
