Actually I noticed that the scanning actually finishes about 20 minutes (I was too impatient), which is weird anyways.
This is the terminal output: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo gparted [sudo] password for ari: ====================== libparted : 1.7.1 ====================== Unable to open /dev/fd0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/fd0 has been opened read-only. Unable to open /dev/fd0 - unrecognised disk label. Note that in this machine there is no floppy disk drive!! So why doesn't gparted realize it? And why does it try to open a floppy at all?
