Windows 7 Installation

Installed Windows 7 on one of three disks in a system.

Told the installation program  which partition Windows should be installed on.

The installation program without warning wrote to a file on another disk.

This behavior is part of the Microsoft Windows Extreme Stupidity project.

I will have to remember to make partitions on other disks invisible to Windows before installing Windows 7.

Windows wrote to the MBR of the other disk too.
