An OLC user submitted a question which seems like it may be the same
issue I previously reported about the Linux-Athena installer miscreating
new partitions.
The user says that he "had my hard drive split into Windows XP NTFS
partition, and Athena partitions. Grub boot loader was configured to
load either Athena or Windows."
He then tried to boot Windows from Grub, and the computer just hung.
Using the Windows XP installation CD, he found that the former Windows
partition was shown as unpartitioned space.
