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.
