I tried Ubuntu 8.10, and I managed to install it !
But before, I had to delete linux partitions (but not my FAT and NTFS
partitions), using fdisk, and recreate them, because the partitioner didn't
detect any existing partitions. Did the problem come from the linux partitions
? I don't know, but
This patch may have fixed it:
parted (1.7.1-5.1ubuntu10) intrepid; urgency=low
* fat-partition-table.dpatch: Instead of checking for FAT file system
signatures (which has false positives), check whether the boot indicator
on each partition is 0 or 0x80 (LP: #232175). This matches the
Ah, I remember now that flowbot said he couldn't reproduce this any
more.
I'm going to hope that this has been dealt with by the fix for bug
232175 and close this bug. If any of you folks can still reproduce it
with Intrepid, I'd really appreciate it if you could each, *separately*,
file a new
I can confirm that deleting the partition I was going to install Xubuntu
to solved the problem.

Have to agree with you dmsuperman ...
PROBLEM: - the overlapping partitions seems to be the problem. However mine
went wobbly with the 'simple' trial installation of windoze(xp). I should have
had a clue when it blue-screened me twice. With only that ONE partition
overlap, it threw everything

dmsuperman: how exactly did you add a few mb of unallocated space
between partitions? fdisk can't perform those tasks and GParted and
Partition Magic only see unallocated space?

It's independent of distro, my working 7.10 disc had the same issue

fdisk -l from install tty works properly
My fix!
Adding a few mb unallocated space between partitions fixed it
I believe it's to do with somehow overlapping partitions

Sorry, I forgot to note: fdisk -l also does show all the partitions as
they should be, and they obviously exist because I can boot to them
right now. It's only the installer that cannot pick them up.

Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions
I'd like to add that I have this issue as well (not necessarily with the
Xubuntu disc, but both the LiveCD and Alternate install CD for Ubuntu
Hardy Heron have this issue).
I have 2 SATA drives, a 400GB with a single NTFS partition, and a 320GB one.
The 320GB has:
75GB NTFS
20GB EXT3
4GB Swap
Strangely enough, there is some code in grub4dos that does that:
http://svn.gna.org/svn/grub4dos/trunk/stage2/grldrstart.S:
. = Entry_32 + 0x47
.ascii NO NAME /* volume label, 11 bytes. */
. = Entry_32 + 0x52
.ascii FAT32 /* filesystem ID, 8 bytes. */
Recall that parted was detecting my disk label as type loop instead
of msdos and, as a consequence, treating my hard drive as a single
partition:

I have found a way to work around this problem in my case that I will
describe
I am unable to use the Hardy alternate install CD because manual
partitioning does recognize the partitions that are already on my hard
drive and treats that drive as a single FAT partition.
Fdisk correctly shows the partitions that I am currently using on my
drive to run Gutsy and other systems:
TestDisk doesn't recognize any problems now and gparted and ubiquity
still recognize nothing. I have been without Ubuntu now for days. This
is really frustrating for me. =/

for someone to post a work around:

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem as described by flowbot !!!
Fdisk sees the partitions, but qparted just sees an empty hard drive, so I
can't make a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 !!!
I've attached the logs.
Thank you for your help.

It seems that libparted dislikes your partition table despite fdisk
being happy with it. I've gone through those other bugs and there are no
obvious clues that would allow me to diagnose this in any more detail;
however, since you reported this so recently, you can probably still
reproduce it and
