(Get the code!)
As written above, GParted gives false information that the disk is completely unallocated, while other partition managers like cfdisk shows the correct partition table. Since Ubuntu uses GParted for the install, getting GParted to work is essential.
I solved it by using another partition manager to delete all the partitions I was going to use for the Ubuntu install, then GParted showed me the correct partition table allowing me to continue the install.
The problem was on Ubuntu 8.04 using a Samsung SpinPoint 320gb.
