Ubuntu installer should give more info about what it is going to delete
Registered by

The Ubuntu installer does not give enough information to what exactly what it is going to do, as "Partitioning" to most people has no meaning. ex. "Use Entire Disk" could confuse the user into thinking that it will use the CD-R, DVD-RW, USB Disk, etc. It is important to let the user know if "Guided - Use entire disk" options is selected other operating systems and files they might have on that drive will be deleted.
There are repeated threads on the forums and elsewhere about new users deleting their XP partitions by mistake.
