[Bug 1073968] Re: Install over Windows 8 partition erased whole HDD.

[Sebastian Philipp]

It also deleted my D: partition when I chose to "Replace Windows 7". And
my PC doesn't use EFI. Luckily I made a backup a month before... I
support the suggestion of @michaelpwalls to insert the warning that the
whole drive will be formatted.

So this appears no matter whether another OS is detected or not.

Title:
  Install over Windows 8 partition erased whole HDD.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Tried to install Ubuntu 12.10 on the Windows 8 partition, with the
  first option at the menu, something like "Install over Windows 8". My
  HDD was split in 2 partitions (500Gb) 400Gb for Windows 7 and 100Gb
  for WIndows 8. And I was pretty sure that it was saying Windows 8, not
  the whole hdd. I'm using Dell Studio 1458 (notebook), Core i5 M450,
  6Gb RAM, 500Gb HDD, video card Radeon HD4580.
