I am not the actual author of this. I read about this code in some forum (I
don't remember the name of the forum). The author of the post had just
mentioned that deleting this code will correct the problem. My only addition
to the bug report is the supporting information from Microsoft site and the
link to GPT fdisk software. In any case I am providing the required patch
but this patch is not such a great one, just a one line change solves the
problem. Sorry I don't know how to create a test suite etc and I don't know
whether my style of writing log entry is correct. This is the first time I
am trying my hand at things like SVN, GIT and patches and I am not a
programmer either (though I know how to compile softwares, provided the
makefiles are present). Thank you.
