Hi all,

I'm an average WinXP user and wanted to give Linux a try. Therefore I'd like
to install Debian as a second OS on my system. Unfortunately, the
installation procedure gives this error: "Bad primary partition 1. Partition
ends after end-of-disk" and doesn't allow me to use the existing partition
table.

Is there a way to solve this while keeping my data and Windows installation?
How?
Will another linux-distribution produce the same error? IOW: is it
Debian-related or Linux-related?

My HD has a capacity of 160 GB, and partitions are as follows:
Primary:
- windowsxp 19360 MB
Extended:
- data 39284 MB
- data2 69994 MB
- unallocated 23988 MB

Thanks in advance for your response,

Sjoerd
