this has to do with the conversion from fdisk to parted commands, iirc the
/spec:7 tells it to create an ntfs partition, something that doesnt work
with this version of parted.

This is a problem that has been brought up before, and about the solution,
well..

possibilities:
1. don't create NTFS partitions, windows will create it for you anyway if
you instruct it to do so.
2. use newer version of parted (NTLDR not found problems? )

if i can spare some time the next weeks i'll try to see what can be done
about it. (I think that i myself now just use the entire disk for
workstations that are installed, since any data is being saved on the Samba
PDC, and as such there is no more benefit for me in using more than 1
partition) and maybe some examples (idea: maybe we can just use parted to
create partition table, and use ntfs-3g stuff to actually create the NTFS
partitions? but i dont even know if that can do it)

anyway, while googling around i found out the *Florian Effenberger *is
trying to contact the people behind parted to see where the problem lies...
