Installing on a dual-boot system. Three partitions and a swap:
sda4: / (64 GiB ext3)
sda5: /usr (64 GiB btrfs)
sda6: (64 GiB swap)
sda7: /log (64GiB btrfs)

Most of the Windows 8 insatllation sits 0n sdb, but there's a data partition 
and some boot partitions as well:
sda1: EFI system partition (67.5 GiB fat32)
sda2: Microsoft reserved partition
sda3: Basic data partition (65,8 GiB ntfs)

I am making a reinstall of my system due to a corrupted disk, and have copied 
the contents of the Windows partitions over to this new disk with GNU ddrescue.
Sda8 contains my home partition, and is best left untouched so far. Actually, 
it would be great if you could mount data partitions like /home during 
*without* destroying all the data that sits there, as I forgot that little 
detail (not having done any installs in quite a while) and have to do quite the 
rescue job.
