Comment 5 for bug 379980

Thjis information might help: the Windows 7 Disk Management tool and GParted show completely different partitions!
Windows:
System NTFS 199 MB
C: NTFS 450.09 GB
Recovery (D:) NTFS 15.37 GB
HP_Tools Fat32 103 MB

Note that I can't resize C: and add another partition because there are already 4 present. Otherwise I would just do a dual-boot installation.

GParted shows:
sda1 992.50 KB unknown
sda2 199 MB NTFS (clearly "System")
sda3 450.09 GB NTFS Recovery ("C:" renamed to "Recovery"?)
sda4 15.47 GB unknown HP_Tools ("D:" and "HP_Tools" together renamed to "HP_Tools"?)

so possibly wubi gets confused because it can't find C:? I have no idea why this could happen or how to fix it. I don't have the system disks for System 7 (this is a brand-new machine) so I can't just erase the disk and start over.

I need both true Microsoft Office and Ubuntu on the same machine, so any ideas would help. I have done this on other machines using WinXP with no problem.
