The Ubuntu installer defaults to a MBR drive setup when a UEFI BIOS isn't detected. It still uses LVM as the automatic partition scheme.
In Fedora there's a way to force the installer using a boot flag (inst.gpt) to create a GPT drive with LVM.
There's not currently a way to do this on Ubuntu so how do I convert the MBR drive to GPT with a LVM scheme?

Use gparted or another partitioning tool from the live cd to format the drive and create a GPT partition table, then install Ubuntu. It will keep the existing partition table.

This doesn't work because the auto installer simply wipes out anything you set up and creates a MBR+LVM setup
