Hi David,

You actually have to run the sfdisk command after you do the complete
install.    After installing ifthere is a problem booting into MSWin, boot
into Linux and run that command (add -f for force).    You may be able
to avoid the warning and problem if you can set LBA mode in your BIOS
before installing.   The other thing that might work for you is installing
with this boot line:

linux hd=4866,255,63

Make sure you check out bugzilla:

Good Luck,
Sean.
