Bug#509299: installation: Error in Windows-Based Debial Installation
OK. I will assume you start with an empty (unpartitioned) hard drive. I added the XP stuff to completely duplicate my HD. I don't think it is necessary to duplicate the problem.
1) Use a Linux live CD or repair disk to create:
a) Partition 1 (boot volume) --> primary - 750 to 1024 MB
Type = 7 (HPFS/NTFS)
Make it the active partition
b) Partition 2 --> Extended - Rest of the HD
c) Logical drive 5 (For Vista) --> 10 to 20 GB
Type = 7 (HPFS/NTFS)
d) Logical Drive 6 (optional for XP)
Type = 7 (HPFS/NTFS)
2) (Optional) Install XP into logical drive 6
3) Install Vista into logical drive 5
That should do it. In my scenario I have:
Part/LogVol Type O/S
1 NTFS boot volume
2 Extended
5 Linux /boot
6 Linux /
7 Linux Linux logical volume
8 NTFS Vista
9 NTFS Data
10 NTFS XP
Free space

I think I'll have to try reproduce this bug. Can you give me instructions on
how to setup an environment that has the same problem?
