Hi all!

If all you guys have time I'd ask you to answer my question.

Yesterday I've decided to downgrade 14.10 Utopic Unicorn to 14.04.

I had 3 partitions on my 160 Gb HDD -
1st (1gb) linux swap,
2nd - 50 Gb ext4 linux partition
100 Gb NTFS with my data (photos, music etc)

While installing i select option that says "install 14.04 over Utopic
Unicorn".
 I thought that 14.04 will replace Utopic Unicorn on the same 50gb ext4
partition.
Then clicked next, everything wath installed good.

But after installation was fininshed i've opened disk utility and noticed
that whole hdd became formatted as  single 150 gb ext4 partition and  two
1gb swap partitions.

So i lost all my data from NTFS partition


My question is : should Ubuntu installer at least warn me that it decided
to format whole disk?

(Yes, it warns about erasing documents and stuff, but i thought that it
will erase only partition with linux installed, like Windows installer
does.)

Should I submit bug about it ?


Sorry for bad english, im ukrainian)
