Description Rotch Groblin 2008-05-13 18:51:02 UTC

I am trying to partion a hard drive and the "Type:" option says Primary, but the drop down can not be activated so I can not choose Logical.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot 2008.0 Beta 2 LiveCD
2. Choose graphical installer
3. Click on unallocated space to create a new partition
4. Try to choose Logical

Actual Results:  
Nothing, which is the problem.

Expected Results:  
I expected there to be a drop down so I could create a logical partition so I can then create more than 5 partitions on the drive.

This should now be fixed in SVN.

This should be fixed in 2008.0, which is now released.
