Description of problem:
The installer goes into disk partitioning and fails to see a Win7 primary partition. It thinks the entire drive is available. The installer had worked correctly once before on this system. I used the re-sizer to re-size a Win 8 partition. Although Mageia 3 installed fine, it clobbered the Win8 install. No great loss there. Installed win7 using half the disk. Went to install Mageia on remaining half. Installer thinks the whole drive is blank. When using the hardware detection utility on the M3 DVD, the disk test correctly picks up the win7 NTFS partition.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 3 x64

Unfortunately, installer bugs can't be fixed after the release.

If possible, please test to see if this bug still exists once Mageia 4 Alpha 2 comes out (the classical installer won't be available for Alpha 1 unfortunately).

Hopefully Mageia 4 is not affected.  Closing as OLD.
