Description of problem:   

See Bug 17821 for background info...

Trying to install (update "not possible" (per Mageia web pages) when switching from legacy to UEFI) mga5 onto new 1TB HD.  I get:

       An error occurred
  mounting partition UUID=<uuid> in directory /mnt/media/wind_d failed.

where <uuid> points to p3 on the original HD (sdb during install attempt). Here is the original HD (see new HD info in bug 17821):
# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 698.7 GiB, 750156374016 bytes, 1465149168 sectors

HOWEVER, sda2 is the Dell "RECOVERY" partition & sda3 is the Windows partition.

Hi Pierre

As in bug 17821 

> Disklabel type: dos

should have been "Disklabel type: gpt" for UEFI installs.


Anyway, waiting for report.bug.xz that you'll attach to bug 17821

There is no need to attach it here, too. Just a comment
  
 see attachment <attachment number> 

will give a link to it in this report.
