Disaster for me also. I use bootitng to manage two pata 200 GB drives with dozens of partitions and various operating systems. My hobby since 2002. I've had many installations overwrite my MBR, but kubuntu-alpha-4-alternate CD also wiped my partition table for one of the drives. In my case the partition was already setup, the installation only had to format it. I managed to undelete all but one partition using bootitng's undelete. That one contained Sayabon. It has taken me three days to reinstall it. Cussin' all the time.
Also: PLEASE Give us the option to NOT install grub, if "install to root partition" isn't available.
