"I lost my entire windows partition due to a misleading option in ubuntu 10.10 installation.

There is an option to install ubuntu side by side. Once that option is selected it should never use entire disk for installation. But that is not the fact.

After selecting that option, it will display the largest partition available on disk. We can drag the pointer to select the appropriate size for ubuntu from that partition. But below, there is another option 'Select entire partition'.

So 'Select entire partition' should select only that single partition showed above. It should not use entire disk. But it used entire disk (In my case). Isn't it wrong?"

Ubuntu's reputation is being harmed here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
