Title:
  13.10 installer doesn't see pre-installed Windows 8.1

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Lenovo U410 - Windows 8.1 pre-installed, i3 proccesor, 8GB RAM, 500GB
  HDD with 210 GB free for Ubuntu install.

  Using Live USB drive to install, 13.04 sees the Windows partitions, (but doesn't mount them). The installer sees the Windows 8.1 installation and asks whether I want to install side by side or replace Windows.
  13.10 run from a live USB however, sees the Windows partitions and can mount them, but the installer doesn't see the  Windows OS at all - it just says "No OS found".
