Partition numbers tend to get moved around quite frequently, so this
would be a fragile configuration, and require manual entry. It would be
better to automatically notice that the partition is a Win7 system
partition, and ignore it. If you must explicitly exclude manually
chosen partitions, they should be specified by UUID.
