that is
240 * 63 * 512 = 7 MiB
alignment.
I heard about Win7 aligning at 1 MiB.

It is a MS related partitioning bug.
To get around there are 3 ways possible:
C) Most easily: You typically purchased a notebook where there are 3 primary partitions. Ubuntu Release Notes should mention that in case of dual boot you should only create one primary root partition not any more ! (no swap, no home, no further extended)
B) A more sophisticated approach: Since Vista Windows needs a megabyte free space just in front of every first primary partition and a megabyte free space in front of every first logical partition in every extended partition. Partition your disk accordingly or give Windows7 Partitioniong Tool a try to configure your harddisk appropriet for a linux install (more easy?)
C) Feature request: make linux partitioning tools feature a windows7 compatible mode.
