Title:
  Wrong drive letter during install of Quantal Alpha 2

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I was installing Quantal Alpha 2 from live USB key iso: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20120709.1/quantal-desktop-amd64.iso I arrived to the point where you see the partitioning of the hard drive and have to decide where to install ubuntu, test case: http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopManual.
  The first time I booted,  my hard drive was detected as /dev/sda with all it's partitions: /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 ...
  As I made a mistake I decided to not confirm the partion scheme but to click on the back button so I could go back to the initial state and re-do the partitioning selection.
  After having done that, my PC got stuck and I had to reboot it by pressing the reboot button.
  On on the following boots of my USB live key my hard drive is detected as /dev/sde with all it's partitions: /dev/sde1, /dev/sde2...
  I did not go further in the installation as I'm not sure of the consequences.
  I'm attaching a screenshot.
