PrintDiskData () in partlist.c :
--------------------------------

01365       if (PartEntry->PartInfo[i].PartitionType != PARTITION_ENTRY_UNUSED
||
01366           PartEntry->PartInfo[i].PartitionLength.QuadPart != 0ULL)

.. this code also inserts lines of partitions which are
not "RecognizedPartition"
=> please see typedef struct _PARTITION_INFORMATION


(partial) bug fix for this:
01365       if ((PartEntry->PartInfo[i].PartitionType != PARTITION_ENTRY_UNUSED
||
01366           PartEntry->PartInfo[i].PartitionLength.QuadPart != 0ULL) &&
01367          (PartEntry->PartInfo[i].RecognizedPartition))
01368       {
01369         PrintPartitionData (List,
01370                             DiskEntry,
01371                             PartEntry,
01372                             i);
01373       }
01374     }


This bugfix hides "ghost entries" and also the Extended Partitions
= Type 15 (0Fh) and
= Type 05


This is very close to the behavior of WinXP-Setup - which also does NOT show
a Extended Partition but only the logical drives it contains ..

Thanks,
Peter
