Whoa! Is this for real?!

[Basil Chupin]

I have been installing Karmic and Lucid Beta 1 on HDs which contained no 
other operating systems.

Earlier today I installed Lucid Beta 2 on a set of HDs which had XP 
installed  - Lucid replaced another Linux distro which dual-booted with XP.

A few minutes ago I went to see what was on the Windows partitions - and 
there were none showing in Lucid! There are no entries in fstab for all 
the XP partitions.

Why didn't the installation process pick up on these partitions and 
include them in the fastab? Is it something which I missed doing during 
the install stage or is this a (nasty) "feature" of Ubuntu? I didn't 
bother to check what the disk partitoner was doing during the 
installation because the other distro I've been using - openSUSE - sees 
and puts them into fstab automatically.

Any comments please.
