[Cooker] [Bug 1315] [Installation] New: DrakX tries and fails to format NTFS partition.

[[Bug 1315]]

https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1315

   Product: Installation
 Component: Installation
   Summary: DrakX tries and fails to format NTFS partition.
   Version: 1.778
  Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: blocker
  Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When installing on a computer with an existing NTFS partition, DiskDrake allows me to 
resize 
the NTFS partition , but when continuing it tries to format the partition to NTFS , 
fails to do that 
(don't know how to format to NTFS) and then returns to the previous screen with the 
disk 
partitioning options (use entire disk,use existing partitions,etc'). the only way 
I found to 
continue the installation was to remove the NTFS partition entirely. 
I haven't checked what happens if I don't do anything to the existing NTFS partition 
and install 
to a different disk or an empty space on the same drive (I don't have any of those)

the only way i know this could happen is: ntfsresize couldn't resize
the partition and so diskdrake proposed a *destructive* resizing.
Afterwards, partition being marked as unformatted, it wants to format
it.

I'm going to:
- unset mount point after a destructive resize
- disallow choosing a mount point for a unformatted ntfs partition
