Thanks, I've added it to the wiki.

Ah, OK, that's irritating! I don't have enough time to update the
instructions, since it'd require lots of mucking around with Windows. If
someone would like to have a go at doing the update, or coming up with
more robust instructions for doing the partitioning with Ubuntu (like
getting Windows to force a chkdsk on first boot) then I'd be grateful!

Thanks,

Phil
