Call for testers: Windows boot problems after installing

[Mariano Loza]

I experienced some problems on dual booting

1- Ubuntu sets clock on UTC, so when i went back to
XP, or Sarge, changed the system clock. This was
already fixed tweaking the rcS file. But maybe it
would be better to let the user to choose how to set
the clock on the install process.

2- Althoug I used partitions previously made with
kernel 2.4, knowing that k 2.6 has problems with
parted, something changed in the geometry. I am able
to boot with XP, but Partition Magic reports the
famous 116 error, and  flags Disk 1 as "bad". Even
when my bios is set to LBA...
