I don't know if a bug was submitted, but someone reported the problem to 
this list and I added a follow-up.
I got a new SATA drive and added it to the existing IDE drive to do a 
fresh install on the SATA drive. I can't quite remember what happened, 
but I had to remove the IDE drive. I haven't reinserted the IDE drive, 
it's in a new box now with 11.0 Beta3 x86 installed.
I saw the same problem on another box and I temporarily removed the IDE 
drive which I wanted to reformat, I nearly reformatted the SATA drive 
instead.
Regards
Sid.
