I had ubuntu installed happily and then I repartitioned my hard drive to do a dual-boot with slackware and ubuntu.
When I run the ubuntu live cd installer it hangs at the partitioner and displays a message box which says "??? ???"
I have an official ubuntu cd and the problem is not with that because it installs fine on another computer.
I am now able to install slackware without a problem but can't install ubuntu because I can't get ubuntu to see my partition table.
Here is my fdisk info from the live cd:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders

Any help would be very much appreciated.
