...and similarly, the "Edit config" button should be disabled for the Data Partition - currently if you try to edit the Data Partition's config, it displays an error dialog saying "Error mounting boot partition" and then displays an all-grey config editor. |

- If the item has "data partition" in it, do not allow it to be installed alone. Closes raspberrypi#103 - If the first partition is not a FAT partition, treat it as not bootable. Do not show it in the boot menu, and do not write config.txt to it. Closes raspberrypi#102 Adapted from 8430591 raspberrypi@8430591#diff-7bd3a48ac1bcbb236a941bd9c1b24587

I just tried using the "network install" feature of NOOBS 1.3 beta, and decided to try the "Advanced Data Partition" option. It all works fine but when I mount this data partition I can see it contains
config.txtandos_config.jsonfiles which serve no purpose whatsoever, as this partition isn't storing an OS.I guess this is another situation where the Data Partition should just be special-cased, similar to the way it doesn't get displayed in the boot-selection menu.
