[ros-dev] Setup on an extended partition

[stack exchange]

Hi

I'm new to ReactOS development and started to look into some issues I 
noticed with the setup. When I tried to install it I experimented a bit 
and noticed that you can create extended partitions during the setup. 
The setup also accepts such a partition for installation, but the actual 
installations fails with an error.
Now I wondered, what would be the correct way to fix it. I checked with 
Windows 7 installation, and it apparently doesn't allow you to install 
on an extended partition either, at least it only allows you to create 
primary partitions. So if this shouldn't be possible, then I would add 
an error message to the setup, when the user chooses an extended partition.
If this should be possible though, I would look into it, why it fails 
and try to fix it. Not sure if XP or others allow installations on 
extended partitions, I have to check this (been a long time since I last 
installed an XP :) ).
