Title:
  Extended Partition misaligned by 1024 bytes

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Machine:

  Make: Asus u46e-bal6
  Processor: core i7 2.4 quad core
  Memory: 8 GB
  HDD: Western Digital WDC WD7500BPKT-80PK4T0 (advanced format) firmware version 01.01A10

  lucid would not work, Natty would not work, Oeniric would not work,
  running Precise alpha:

  The following partitions were set up automatically by ubuntu:

  swap: 8.5 GB (8,494,514,176 bytes)
  extended: 8.5 GB (8,494,515,200 bytes)
  OS: 742 GB (741,658,853,376 bytes)

  i receive the following error message regarding extended partition:
  'WARNING: The partition is misaligned by 1024 bytes. This may result in very poor performance. Repartitioning is suggested'

  NOTE: (i know this is obvious) but 515,200-514,176 = 1024

  I have tried using GParted from boot disk as suggested with no
  success.

  I have tried the manual install method 'something else' from live CD
  which only recognizes /sda1 (os)  and /sda5 (swap), /sda2 (extended)
  does not appear.

  Bug affects the following releases:

  lsb_release -rd
