Title:
  installer doesn't let me partition any harddrive

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  installer doesn't list any harddrive to partition,
  but using a terminal and using gparted , parted or cfdisk shows /dev/sda 40GB disk which I can partition. Why won't the installer list this drive and use it? Ive tried both using IDE legacy and IDE native mode in bios configuration.
