WTF difference does it make which HAS data, the installer is telling you 
that it soon won't have if you proceed. If by this time in the procedure 
you don't know then a) you should not be installing operating systems 
and b) you cancel the operation and check.

If you are suggesting the installer should detect and identify every 
operating system and file system ever created then you better tell them 
to correct the Vista and XP installers because they don't wipe your butt 
for you either...

What you have proven conclusively is your ability to behave like a 
complete idiot...
