Public bug reported:
Details are in this thread, with a screenshot of the installer at the
partitioning step: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1243160
The 100MB boot partition is recognized as a Windows Vista partition, but
the primary NTFS partition that Windows 7 is installed in is only
recognized as /dev/sda2. Even though there was 117GB of free space
available on the drive, if I chose "Use the largest contiguous free
space", it would only try to use 2.5GB for Ubuntu's ext3 partition. If
I used the slider, it would allow me to use more than the available free
space (perhaps by resizing the NTFS partition? I did not try it), but
it made me worry that the NTFS partition would not be respected and
possibly corrupted.
