Grub wouldn't want to see these partitions, though - when booting from
GRUB-boot-floppy - they are visible and bootable.
The only available boot option is Debian / Debian recovery.
Some of our friends wanting double-boot will surely assume that their
install has eaten up Windows (it hasn't).

This is a very well known bug in beta4, which is fixed in all further
versions. See the errata list.
As this is the only problem in this report, I hereby close it. Thanks
for your time testing Debian Installer
