I don't have a floppy drive in my computer either and putting the floppy to
none in the bios indeed helps i also commented out fd0 in etc/fstab
it did bring up a new bug but that had nothing to do with this one
thx a lot

I had this same problem yesterday after upgrading to 7.10.
Then after reading this post I noticed that mine too was hanging for at
least 10 minutes while checking /dev/fd0. As I new GParted on 7.04 used
to start swiftly on my system, I immediately assumed a bug in GParted.
(It was also slow
Dan,
Brilliant. Just brilliant. I never thought of checking the bios. This
computer never has had a floppy but the CMOS setup showed one. I
changed the CMOS from Floppy A to None, and now Gparted works perfectly
-- instantly. What's weird is that it worked fine on 7.04 with the
CMOS
Removing fd0 from fstab didn't help here.
Now, right before installing gutsy i changed the HD and... removed the
useless floppy :) so I guess that was the issue (didn't check yet but it
looks like that's it).

That's strange. When I run gparted, I get a similar output:
==
libparted : 1.7.1
==
Unable to open /dev/hdc read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/hdc has been
opened read-only.
Unable to open /dev/hdc - unrecognised disk label.
But gparted only scans

It's best if you just comment it, that is, put a # in front of the line.
Then you can restart the computer and try gparted again.

Bugs,
I'm sorry to say that after putting the # at the beginning of the last
line and restarting the computer, the exact same thing happened. After
about 5 minutes of searching Gparted came up with the same error
message. Don

Thank you for reporting this bug.
Have you tried starting gparted from the terminal? Do you get any
output?

Actually I noticed that the scanning actually finishes about 20 minutes
(I was too impatient), which is weird anyways.
This is the terminal output:
