I couldn't install 9.10

[Ascenti0n]

I have 9.10 on my system now, as an upgrade from 9.04. Due to some small annoyances and the fact that I want to get rid of the Kubuntu and Xubuntu desktop files which currently co-exist, I decided to do a clean install.

I have 3 HDDs:
hda: winXP
hdb: Ubuntu partition, a datafiles partition
hdc: 2 more data partitions

Even though I selected "advanced option" during the installation process, Ubuntu did not present (or recognise) hdb, which I would have selected to write over.

any ideas why I can't simply overwrite the previous Ubuntu partition?

Try using the atlernate CD, it does not have a GUI, but works just fine to install 9.10. It seems that there are some dmraid issues with desktop installation CD of 9.10.
