[Bug 1421588] [NEW] Installer crashes on Dell Inspiron 17-5000

[Michel Rooy]

Public bug reported:

Windows 8.1 is pre-installed.
I disabled secure boot, windows fast start and legacy boot option.
I prepared 3 partitions using the Windows disk tool (Gparted crashes or freezes depending of the version) :
- sda6 for grub (unusual for me, not used on my previous computers, but required according some forums)
- sda7 for /
- sda8 for /home
Is something wrong in what I did ?

Thank you
