10.04.1 installer cant read partition table

[haavikon]

Hi, I hope this isn't a repeated issue, I haven't been able to find anything that quite fits the problem.

I'm trying to install 10.04.1, all appears to be fine except the partitioner cant read my partition table.
Running the live CD using the graphical tool in System>Administration I can't see the table, however, if I use fdisk -l in a terminal, its all fine. I can mount them and read/write.

If I run gparted in a terminal I get a message telling me

======================
libparted : 2.2
======================
Can't have overlapping partitions.

this is the output from fdisk - l

Err, Deleted the swap partition, all works now. Just don't know how to delete this thread!

Just mark it as solved. (Under Thread Tools, I believe.)
