I am having the same problem with a newly purchased ASUS U46e-bal6 which has a WD7500BPKT-80PK4T0 (750GB drive). I have installed ubuntu several times both manually configuring partitions and letting ubuntu create them, all with the same result. Disk utility tells me that my extended partition is misaligned by 1024 bytes
