Stephane, thank you for testing. Windows appears as "Windows Boot Manager" because that is the text returned by os-prober, presumably because it literally looks for the Windows boot loader on a partition. I suggest filing a bug with that project if you think it should be changed.
machrider, I agree that the installer should tell the user when it is going to wipe the entire hard drive. There are comments in the os-prober scripts to the effect "this is just a best effort, and will miss stuff". The patch I posted in comment #80 (ubiquity-better-desc.patch ) changes the descriptions to say that the hard drive will be wiped. It would be good to have an extra confirmation that the user understands their data really will be wiped. The multiple drives auto-partition also still needs to be fixed or blocked. I don't have any insight into what the maintainers of Ubiquity want to do about that (or about adding an extra confirmation), perhaps they will reply and let us know (imho the maintainers have been rather quiet, considering this is a serious bug that has been known about for 9 months and resulted in many people having their drives wiped, I would have thought this bug worthy of more attention). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265192 Title: Install/reinstall wipes out all/other partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1265192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
