This screwed me over, I really wish I would have looked it up prior to using the option.

I had three partitions all set and ready to go. One was my existing NTFS partition with Windows 7 on it.

Another was my Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit partition.

Lastly I had a third partition formatted as ext4, I had that partition selected and chose to Use Entire Partition.

The damn installer took the entire hard drive for the new Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit install.

Claiming that what I wanted to do was split partitions or something is ridiculous, I had 3 distinct partitions - each formatted completely different (NTFS, ext3, ext4) and the thing used the entire disk.

If I had wanted to use the entire disk, I would have chose that option.

VERY misleading and aggravating. The 10.04 installer worked perfect to allow me to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 while the 10.10 installer just screwed me over and erased all my data.
