[Bug 885951] [NEW] Installer tells me I have10.10 but disks are empty & Installer crashes

[Rich]

Public bug reported:

Installing Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit iso.  Cannot access anything.  Have new
Hard Drives  (new 2.0 TB SATA + 165 GB Hitachi HDS722516VLAT80 IDE) I
THOUGHT both drives were formatted as NTFS disks & I tried to use the
whole new 2.0 TB SATA for my system disk.  Installer told me I had
Ubuntu 10.10.  I told it to erase 10.10.  The installer crashed.  I have
no installed Ubuntu & no files since I don't have a system, so I cannot
provide what you're asking for.  Installer starts; Installer crashes.
That's all I know.
