Description of problem:
This error message appears when the graphical installer starts. The
full error message is below:

Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at disk_dos.c: 1813 in function
add_logical_part_metadata() failed.

I have to ignore a lot of these message, > 20, to continue the install
process. The install appears to work fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installer

I have used Partition Magic in the past to modify my partition table.
My partition table is below:
