Device /dev/sbd has a logical sector size of 4096

[SHiNiNG_SaBeR]

Hi. I'm relitively new to the ubuntu scene (Have only installed it once on a real PC, twice on virtual pcs), and I get this error when I'm trying to install it on my computer:

Device /dev/sbd has a logical sector size of 4096. Not all parts of GNU Parted Support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL.
I was thinking it might have to do something with the size set when I formatted my XP distribution (the little thing besides space, that had a bunch of numbers that were in multiples of 4), but I can't reinstall XP at the moment, since I don't have a PC to back up all of my data from this one on. I was wondering, if thats the problem, is there some way to edit the logical size without reformatting?
My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.4 GHz
2 GB PC4200 RAM
ATi Radeon X1950 Pro
160 GB HDD (Partitions : 107.42 GB NTFS containing Windows XP (x32 Home), 2 GB Linux-Swap, 39.63 GB EXT3 (For Ubuntu))
I'm installing Ubuntu 8.04 x32
Any help would be appreciated.:)

Saber, if you can boot from the live CD, what is the output of

sudo fdisk -l
Cheers, Pat.

EDIT : I feel bad, because today I booted off of my Ubuntu CD (I reburnt it), and it worked fantastically. Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it.

I told you yesterday making a new one would probably fix your problem. I'm happy you solved it :)

You're welcome and don't worry, you were right to post. The "/dev/sdb" in your original post looked odd. Cheers, Pat.

i have the same problem with a debian cd.
the error is the same, only it's dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
I always get this message when it's time to partition the disk. Always at 41 procent i get the message.

I am trying to install Ubuntu for the first time and seeing the same issue (Device /dev/sbd has a logical sector size of 4096. Not all parts of GNU Parted Support this).

I am not clear about how the logical sector size issue is resolved. Though it gives this warning, I am able to install and get it to work. However, I would like to understand how this issue was addressed earlier.
