Comment 3 for bug 1609461

I was not trying to resize windows partitons
although it was a nightmare to pull together various windows10 / OEM (HP)
manufacturer partition combinations on this particular GPT setup.

So, for a test of installer sake I will do the following:

-recheck windows partition with chkdisk
-see if I can recheck separate FAT32/weird EFI flagged EFI partition for
correctness

connected with that, I see on that partition garbage characters inside of a
dir where it should be entries for ubuntu /GRUB shim

LEt me do all that job and get back with results.

As its 02AM here - expect it in 12 hours from now

Regards
