[Bug 1308071] [NEW] ubiquity fails to identify partitions on internal hard drive

[Joel Pickett]

Public bug reported:

Trying to dual boot the latest daily iso.

Get to the manual partition page and it reckons that my 1TB hard drive
is just free space. This hard drive has actually got a ~900GB partition
for Windows 7 and it should have a ~50GB partition for free space that I
was intending to install ubuntu onto.

I have tried installing ubuntu twice and rebooted into windows (it's
still fine) so it seems that ubiquity is just failing to see the
partitions on the drive
