OK. So I will put en error message, that it can not be installed on an
extended partition. Which is, at least in theory, the same as in Windows
7, then. I guess with a hack you can still do it, but apparently it's
not the usuall way.

partition boot sector at 0x0000:0x7C00, the old fashioned and DOSy
way. As far as a know, there is no hard limitation preventing one from
doing so with a logical (i.e. inside an extended) partition, but for
some reason, most (if not all) windows versions don't allow that. When
you select a logical partition in windows xp setup, what in reallity
happens is that NTLDR, the boot sector, and stuff are put in a primiry
partition (that must exist and be the active partition), while all the
rest of the OS is put in the partition you select.
IMHO, ReactOS should not try to clone this "feature"... :-)
