The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that this is truly a duplicate of bug 655950.

That said I'm also aware of what candtalan said in post #18 but I'd argue that the "Use largest continuous free space" was a much better option, and certainly resulted in much less destruction of existing data. RE bug 652852.

Anyway I'm now marking this as a duplicate of bug 655950 because in my testing if the options to "use entire partition" and "use entire disc" simply did not exist after selecting "Install alongside" we'd see a reduction in the number of users reporting data/OS loss!

If anyone disagrees that's fine, but I expect a detailed explanation and some actual logs would be nice.

I have repeatedly tested the new ubiquity and if you totally ignore the two "Use entire" buttons while using the "install alongside" option I've not been able to reproduce the data/OS loss, and the proof is in the pudding.
