[Bug 976545] Re: external HDD blocks install on internal one

[Enno Borgsteede]

I changed the package without knowing what exact package is involved in
choosing the drive to install Ubuntu on. Hence it's just ubiquity since
that is mentioned in the wiki for install issues.

** Package changed: ubuntu => ubiquity (Ubuntu)

Title:
  external HDD blocks install on internal one

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I try to install Ubuntu on a PC with an external HDD that's
  connected via USB, I can't select the internal one to install Ubuntu
  on. I have to disconnect the external one(s), and then go back a few
  steps in the installation procedure until I see the screen that asks
  me whether I want to install Ubuntu next to Windows, replace it, or
  create my own partitions. Once I select to install next to Windows
  again, my internal HDD is displayed, and everything works fine from
  there.

  This phenomenon happens on all the PC's that I've tried Ubuntu on,
  which are:

  1. MSI desktop system, bought in 2003, with Windows XP,
  2. Medion laptop, bought in 2009, with Windows 7,
  3. Acer Aspire 7250, bought in 2012, with Windows 7.

  I'm typing this on PC number 3.
