Actually, the bug seems to be ealier during the install, if rebooting before the
partitioning utility of the installer, Windows XP can still boot normally (I
think it was obvious...), if I reboot just after parted (I believe it's the
program used) has created the 2 partitions (/ and swap), Windows XP can't boot
anymore.

I can still access my files using a Windows XP-based boot CD, BartPE, so, the
data of the NTFS partition isn't modified, but something else on the disk is...

I am ready to test anything necessary to make it work, I tested the last daily
Hoary image (27/03) and the RC3 of debian-installer, and the bug is present on
both of them.

I changed severity to critical, since any Windows XP user who cancels
(voluntarily or not, for instance if there is an electricity problem) and has no
rescue-boot CD or knowledge to fix whatever is broken will loose his OS and data.
