Title:
  Inaccurate free space calculation for NTFS partition

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  On a Windows 7 laptop (Acer Aspire 6920G) running Windows 7 64-bit, I
  had deleted a bunch of data from within Windows, then rebooted to
  install a dual-boot with the Kubuntu Raring Beta 1.  However, the
  option to auto-resize was missing, and the installer appeared to
  believe that the main partition was 93% full, which sounds about what
  it was before I cleaned it up from within Windows.

  Windows and GParted, by contrast, peg the free space at ~60%.

  In Windows, Disk Management appears to show the disk as being "Basic",
  presumably meaning it *isn't* under the purview of the Logical Disk
  Manager. A screenshot of this can be seen at
  http://keithzg.ca/images/utility/acer_diskmgmtmsc.png or as the
  attachment (not sure which is better; apologies, first time actually
  opening a bug!).
