The ubiquity installer option "replace windows with trusty" or "replace older version of ubuntu with trusty" silently erases the WHOLE harddisk (all partitions and data). This was a problem in 13.10 but we are going to face a whole new rash of angry users who were waiting for 14.04 to reinstall their old OS. I'm on a roaming mobile network and can't download the iso but I saw the bug has not yet been closed. Can someone please check if the issue persists. (Sorry if this is just a false alarm) Steps to reproduce: Choose the "replace OS" option in the ubiquity installer on a computer (or VM) with a separate OS partition (Windows C: or Linux /) and one or more data partitions (Windows D: or Linux /Home). The whole hard disk and _all_ partitions will be erased. Can a last minute post release bug fix be applied to the iso? I think it is pretty important. Basic Fix: Disable the replace OS option or rename it to Erase Entire Disk.
