Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I was installing sandwiched between 2 windows installs, the Windows install after the Ubuntu install got absorbed into the logical partition used for Ubuntu making it unbootable since afaik Windows can't boot from a logical one (or at least has a very fussy bootloader that will die the instant any changes occur).
I don't know if its possible to have a non logical partition after a logical one, but in any case the installer should throw an error when an action could cause Windows to become a logical partition and therefore unbootable.
