Bug Description
I have a 500 GB hard drive with WindowsXP already installed. With the Released Ubuntu 7.04 CD inserted and the computer restarted the Ubuntu installer is started. I answer the simple questions and wait for the partitioner to offer to split the 500 GB drive and resize the partitions. The partitioner only offers Guided using the entire 500 GB hard drive for Ubuntu or manually partitioning the hard drive. The partitioner only offers the solution of devoting my entire 500 GB drive to Ubuntu. Previously the Beta version offered to split the 500 GB by resizeing it into two partitions, one windows and one Ubuntu, and I could select the size of each partition. I'm trying to get that splitting of the hard drive to start with the released version. My attempt to manually partition the drive into two partitions fails.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. To further troubleshoot this issue we need the log file from the partitioner. On the Live CD this will exist as '/var/log/partman' and on a successfully installed system it will be at '/var/log/ installer/ partman' . Thanks in advance.
