Strange hard disk problem

Tags:

Hi list,
I have a dell vostro 1400, few months ago i've installed Ubuntu Gutsy because
my laptop works only with it.
Today i've retried to install debian lenny/sid with netinst cd and now it
runs, piix module succesfully works and network interface now works
out-of-the-box, but partman doesn't recognize the partition on my hard drive,
but it have 6 partition (2 for recovery, 1 for windows and 3 for linux) and
ubuntu works fine.
I like kde rather than gnome and i tried to install kubuntu Gutsy but it have
the same problem!!!(i've tried both alternate and desktop cd).

any suggestions?

Thanks to all and sorry for my little english.

try fdisk/cfdisk/sfdisk. Recovery partitions are often specially setup to
(try to) hide from part.man. prgs to avoid deletion.
afaict Acer's nbooks often show such 'feature' as well.

I've tried with testdisk the only way to recovery is the format and
reinstallation. The problem may be caused by gparted the version on the
unstable version of gutsy (Tribe 5).
Now the system works correctly.

Thank You
