[Bug 1449813] [NEW] installer does not use empty space on sda

[mherweg]

Public bug reported:


the PC has one disk.
3 partitions are used for Windows7 
behind those there is 40GB unpartitioned space.
the installer does not offer to resize one of the NTFS partitions
or offers to install into th unpartitioned area.
the only coices are: delete all partitions or manual choice.
I did the manual choice, installed into sda4.

It installs  fine but without a grub menu - no way to start windows.
after installation I had to do:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg 
grub-install


(i will try to add the log later)
