[ubuntu] Ubuntu 12.10 not detecting partitions (probably Windows 8's fault)

Hi,

I recently upgraded my PC - added an SSD and installed Windows 8 pro. I was able to install Windows 8 fine and leave 40GB of unallocated space for Ubuntu.

I download Ubuntu 12.10 64bit, burnt it onto a disk and attempted to install it. I followed some instructions I found and disabled fastboot and secureboot on my PC (I have a newish mobo with UEFI). The disk booted fine and I was able to get into the live CD version of Ubuntu and access all the files on the Windows 8 partition but when I tried to install Ubuntu the installer found no partitions on the SSD and listed the whole drive as free space (from the advanced tab when selecting where to install).

Am I doing something wrong? I find it odd that Ubuntu was able to mount the Windows 8 partition and let me access the files but the installer can't find anything on the drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
