Serious problem with the partitioning tool

[Marco Iannaccone]

Serious problems with the partitioning tool.

I installed Ubuntu 4.10 for the second time.
The first time using normal installation, and... I got my primary 
Windows XP partition totally corrupted. I thought it was grub's fault, 
and so I reinstalled Ubuntu, after recovering someway the lost data, 
this time using expert installation, so I could choose lilo.

Well... I had problems this time, too!
I lost one of the logical NTFS partitions contained in the same extended 
partition when Ubuntu was installed, and the previous was was corrupted 
(the BRs were no more correct, because two partitions overlapped). I 
could fortunately make everything work well again eliminating the 
ReiserFS and wap logical partitions I had created for Ubuntu, and 
manually changed the boundaries of the "corrupted" NTFS partitions using 
Ranish Partition Manager).

I defenitely think Ubuntu installer ha a serious problem with the 
partitioning tool (I've used Linux and othe OSs (even BeOS, QNX, 
FreeBSD, etc..) for years, without NEVER having problems with the 
existing partitions, and this is the first time i happens).
