Bug Description

I had my windows installation on a partition windows would call drive m: on a
second hd.

When installing ubuntu in the remaining space, it produced 3 parttions, one
swap (not really needed for my 1 gb ram cpomputer?), one home and one root.
It seems the swap partition was created automaticaly on the other harddrive.
The other two partitions I had to create manualy.

Anyway, after rebooting, when I chooses windows from the grubmenu,
I was no more able to boot windows becuase it seems that it now thinks that
its internatl drive is no more m: but another one.

This is probably more a problem of windows brain dead way of handling
partitions, but still one should need to take this into account and
at least issue a warning.

Thanxs
