I found many people saying that they experienced problem with gparted in Ubuntu 6.10. Even I thought like that. But actually u have to wait a lil bit for ur partitions/hdd to appear. U have to wait like 1 min. or so. Be patient!

@pathiks, thanx dude coz i always thought dat itz happening with me only...... now i have realised, i'm not alone..... but watz is the reason???

@mediator, i waited for more than 30 minutes but nothing happened .... but if i chk cd for any defects, it shows cd has no defects.........

30 minutes? well thats something new for me!

Then All I can say is try other distros. Ah well, try fedora!

I had the same problem with Ubuntu 6.06, but not with Edgy. Increase the video memory in your BIOS. That will certainly help. Switch it to maximum.
