F12 RC possible bug when windows pre installed???

[Gianluca Cecchi <gianluca.cecchi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

just downloaded boot.iso (170Mb) from

http://ftp.tudelft.nl/download.fedora.redhat.com/linux/development/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso
with timestamp 07-Nov-2009 14:13 171M

My test system has a partition layout that comprehends 

sda1 ntfs with windows XP and set as bootable by windows xp itself

inside the winxp fs  I also have the copy of the first 512 bytes of sda4, to boot my F11 partition (with grub installed previously in root partition) from boot.ini of windows.

Now I have also sda2 that is scratchable.

I run the cd where I burnt the boot.iso and select sda2 as target partition and to install grub on root partition (so sda2)
This grub setup phase completes, but then I get an error about repositories not aligned with my install treee and I can only retry (with same failure) or reboot.
I reboot and I'm not able to start win xp anymore.

I start the same f12 cd in rescue and notice with fdisk that now  my sda has this

sda1 no bootable flag
sda2 bootable flag

so that I remove bootbale flag from sda2 and set bootable flag for sda1 and my windows XP starts again and also is able again to start my F11 from sda4

Is this a bug or does it depends on installation not finished?
Anyway I think we have to consider a possible error and the bootable flasg should not be removed from sda1.....

I copied these files and they are available to check

Possible that it excludes all repositories?

Any hint, also for install?
