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 off so Ubuntu's PartEd would not show any partitions on my drive (I have quite a few). SOLUTION: - TestDisk to the rescue (again!-brilliant little program) ... I decided to delete the partion (it was a fresh install so I lost nothing). Another possibility would have been to shrink the windoze partition creating a gap between it an the next partition, if there is some software that could correctly recognise it and work with it. After that one deletion, I'm in Ubuntu with PartEd fully recognising all the remaining partitions, and ready to roar! (and I didn't have to create spaces between them all).
