Uhm, thanks for the tips but I think I'll just skip linux for now then,
too much work for now to reinstall everything :p
However, whether or not the reason for crashing is incorrect partition
table or not, gparted should never crash and leaving user wondering why
the installer doesn't proceed.

Both the Ubuntu installer and GParted use the libparted library from the
parted project. Hence each program that uses this library will also
fail in a similar manner.

From your description, it would appear that the disk device has an
invalid MSDOS partition table.
A work-around to this problem is to:
1) Copy any data you have on this disk device to another disk device
2) Erase the invalid MSDOS partition table. The Master Boot Record
exists on the first
Prior to erasing the MBR, you can make a backup copy with the following
command:
sudo dd if=/path-to-disk-device of=my-backup-copy.mbr bs=512
count=1
Where: /path-to-disk-device is something like /dev/sde
CAUTION: Be sure to type in the above command correctly, otherwise data
