> Installing Ubuntu erased the whole hard drive without warning


Partition merely means dividing the data.  It doesn't mean erasing.

I can partition my drive without losing a single file.

yet ubuntu's partition didn't clearly say that it will erase the whole
drive besides dividing the drive.

posting on the Mac forum gets a warm feeling.  posting on the Windows
forum still get a helpful feeling.  on Linux it is the very opposite
of Mac.
