Problem partitioning dual-boot

Hi John,

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks Nicolas and Toomas for providing further
insight.

As the Debian installer properly manages to install a system, we should try
really hard in FAI to achieve the same.

John, may I ask you to perform the following experiment?

Could you start another install on a system with presently working Windows, but
abort the FAI install before grub or the like are installed. I'd claim that
typing Ctrl-C after setup-storage has done its work is the best way to achieve
that, but that might be harder for you. If that's the case, maybe get rid of all
grub-related references from the config space?

I'm wondering whether indeed setup-storage is at fault, or the grub install is
causing the trouble.

Oh, and upgrading to 3.4.8 from 3.4.7 should be safe. Maybe worth a try, but I'm
not sure whether there is any change related to your problem in there.

Best regards,
Michael
