The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that this is truly a

That said I'm also aware of what candtalan said in post #18 but I'd

If more testing or verification is needed please say so. Be sure to
check the duplicate as I attached logs there.
I can assure you that this is 100% reproducible if only primary
partitions are present, which is what most Windows users would
encounter.
If an extended partition exists it's a crap-

"As long as confusing options exist someone is bound to mistakenly use those
options at some time or other."
I question the use of the word 'mistaken' here.
I agree it is not logical to have, in the 'Install side by side'
facility, an option button for install in complete hard drive', how

This report is about "Maverick installer", well maybe too vague as P. Stimpson

My issue is without partitionning, as it happen after an os-prober update: the

After a bit more reading it appears that PPA addresses the issue of
grub2 not detecting an existing Windows OS.
Since Paul Stimpson attached no actual system logs I can't be certain
that such was not the case, other than taking his word for it, but if

I see no actual specs regarding that PPA and I fail to see how that

After much repetitive testing I'm absolutely convinced that this is

@Erick Brunzell
Thanks, I'd not realised the difference in point releases that LTS makes.
I still agree with candtalan, a 10.10.1 would be a brave decision, but
there have been many brave decisions in Ubuntu's history... what's the
most effective way to press for this?

An alternative has been built:

@ JohnWashington,
LTS releases have four "point releases", ie: 10.04 is LTS - therefore
we're at 10.04.1 and there will be three more "point releases".
Maverick (aka: 10.10) is not LTS and I seriously doubt you could get an
exception to have a new iso released.
If you still want to employ your e

This bug has 100% damage rate to those unfortunate people who have put
their confidence into the one particular installer option. It is
devastating. I sincerely hope that it will not be carried forward into
the next release.

Maverick installer lost Windows partitions
https://bugs.launchpad.net
I chose "use entire partition" and it erased every partition on my
netbook, which I most certainly did not tell it to do. Now the restore
partition on my netbook is gone, and now I'm thoroughly screwed since
the netbook didn't come with a restore CD (since there's no optical
drive).

This bug affects me too! It trashed a drive on my test PC, Windows

It just popped into my head that when the partitions were being prepared
it said that sda1 was being formatted. I think what may have happened
here is that the partitioner hasn't noticed that the sda1 and sda2
partitions already existed and called my / and swap partitions sda1 and

Update: I recreated the Dell and Windows partitions then restored the
contents from a backup. The disc contained only sda1 and sda2 (values
identical to the fdisk output above) with the remainder of the drive
