Title:
  Hardy installer changes all partition types to 83 (Linux)

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “parted” source package in Hardy:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I installed from Hardy Alpha 3 CD in a tri-boot configuration -
  /dev/sda1 Windows XP
  /dev/sda2 Hardy
  /dev/sda3 Gutsy

  After installation completed, I could no longer boot Windows.  It gave
  a message that autochk.exe could not be found.  After tracking down
  the problem via Googling, I found that /dev/sda1's partition type had
  changed from 7 (HPFS/NTFS) to 83 (Linux)

  I assume this is because of the installer, but I can not be absolutely
  sure as I booted Hardy a few times before trying Windows again.
