Bug Description
I have an HP nc8430 laptop with an Intel motherboard with an Intel SATA controller and Intel core 2 duo processor. When using the graphical installer of dapper, I am able to detect and manage partitions just fine (resize, reformat, etc) but when using the feisty alternate install CD, my hdd is detected and the partitioner gives me the option to format, but I can not make changes to my existing partition (e.g. reformat my ext3 partition to reiserfs). Will download a graphical live CD and try formating a drive with the alternate installer on my laptops at work and update this bug later (we have several thousand of these models)
