[Bug 416499] Re: Installer doesn't recognize Windows 7 NTFS partition properly

[dino99]

hi Hendrick,

that report is too old, and apport is not used; so the ubiquity version is not known. Please open a fresh one using ubuntu-bug.
Closing that one as it is useless due to the lack of details and the now used ubiquity is way different that the one used in 2009.

Title:
  Installer doesn't recognize Windows 7 NTFS partition properly

Status in Ubiquity:
  Invalid
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Details are in this thread, with a screenshot of the installer at the
  partitioning step: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1243160

  The 100MB boot partition is recognized as a Windows Vista partition,
  but the primary NTFS partition that Windows 7 is installed in is only
  recognized as /dev/sda2.  Even though there was 117GB of free space
  available on the drive, if I chose "Use the largest contiguous free
  space", it would only try to use 2.5GB for Ubuntu's ext3 partition.
  If I used the slider, it would allow me to use more than the available
  free space (perhaps by resizing the NTFS partition?  I did not try
  it), but it made me worry that the NTFS partition would not be
  respected and possibly corrupted.
