[Bug 1385930] Re: 14.10 dual boot win 7 64-bit cannot with wubi installing

[bcbc]

Same thing happened to me. I just did a test 14.04 install on the same
computer so it's not a local issue.

The Fdisk output is odd - looks like it's trying to partition the 6GB
root.disk so that it has an efi partition:
