Suggestion: Label the Windows Partition

[Alexander Solla]

Hello,

I apologize if this bug/suggestion has been reported.

I ran into a usability problem when I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04
alongside Windows 7.

The problem is with regards to the partitioning subsystem.  I instructed
the installer to install Ubuntu alongside Windows, and the installer
responded by asking me to choose the appropriate partition sizes.  However,
this screen did indicate which partition was which.  Murphy's law banged
its gavel; I made the Ubuntu partition much smaller than I meant to.

I suppose that on a theoretical level I should have known that Windows
would have to be on the first partition, but I definitely did not remember
this at the time.  In any case, it seems to me that labeling the partitions
"Windows" and "Ubuntu" (or some variation on that theme) would make this
fact clear, at a relatively low cost.

Thank you for your attention.
