Public bug reported: Just tried using 14.04 daily build (10th Dec) on HP Pavilion Touchsmart 11. (Aside note: This is the first build since 12.04 that actually runs on this PC - previous releases lock up with a black screen or terminal login prompt that doesn't run anything).
The installer starts, but does not detect that Windows 8.1 is already installed on the PC. I was hoping to install 14.04 alongside Windows - I'll scrub Windows when the full LTS is released, but until then I need to keep it. I did not proceed with the install as I wasn't confident that I'd mess up the partitioning and end up without an OS.
