This is one of the new issues with the latest release of ubuntu. What you want to do in the installation options is to do the manual partitioning, this will allow you to choose your swap, / (home, and other partitions for installation. In those options you can just choose to overwrite the old ubuntu partitions with the new installation.

Ok, thanks for the prompt reply, now I know exactly what you are saying. I have not yet experienced this issue, but I have seen other reports of it, the issue as I understand it is that the partiotioning application in the Ubuntu 9.10 installer is not corerctly displaying the structure of your installed drives. You can try to go into BIOS and change the SATA type settings to see if that will allow the BIOS to read it correctly. I will experiment on my system tonight to see if I can get the same issue as you and resolve it if I can. I will update you when I have made progress.

If anyone else has had this problem and fixed it your input would be very helpful.
