[Bug 48412] Disk detected as unallocated

[Mirrorball]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gparted

It's an ordinary Maxtor ATA hdd. GParted and the installer detect it as
unallocated. These are the partitions:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1         685     5502231    b  W95 FAT32

/dev/hda8            4336       24792   164320821   83  Linux

When I run fdisk /dev/hda on Dapper live CD, I get: 'Unable to open
/dev/hda.'
