[Bug 1325299] [NEW] installer for Kubuntu 14.04 does not recognize existing windows install and will not give the option to resize partitions.

[Chad Millar]

Public bug reported:

Kubuntu installer does not recognize previously installed operating
systems and offer the option to install alongside it. I was only given
the option to use the entire disk or setup the partition myself.  To
test this I tried to install Ubuntu 14.04 and it recongnized my wondows
7 partition just fine and offered the option to install alongside it.
