Bug description:
Binary package hint: partman-auto
I would like to give people a try using ubuntu
but I fear to setup some trouble for them if they use win7.
This isssue is described here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+question/99298
It is a MS related partitioning bug.
To get around there are 3 ways possible:
C) Most easily: You typically purchased a notebook where there are 3 primary
partitions. Ubuntu Release Notes should mention that in case of dual boot you
should only create one primary root partition not any more ! (no swap, no home,
no further extended)
B) A more sophisticated approach: Since Vista Windows needs a megabyte free
space just in front of every first primary partition and a megabyte free space
in front of every first logical partition in every extended partition.
Partition your disk accordingly or give Windows7 Partitioniong Tool a try to
configure your harddisk appropriet for a linux install (more easy?)
C) Feature request: make linux partitioning tools feature a windows7 compatible
mode.
