Re: Ubuntu erased my whole hard drive



In article <ff4atl$r7k$02$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, peter.koehlmann@t-

The "fact" that you can't show the warning is evidence that you are lying.
Or too stupid to even attempt a linux install. Or both

I just installed Ubuntu 7.0.4 last night on a computer running Windows -
I was given 3 options for the install, one of them was something like
Maximum size (and I picked it) and there was no warning/error message
about it wiping the drive - now, I knew it would wipe it and that's what
I wanted, but there was no message warning me about it.

I can see, easily, where if someone wanted the maximum space for Ubuntu
while trying to keep their Windows stuff, that they could screw up
without knowing and erase their entire drive.

Maybe you should try it with Ubuntu 7.0.4.
