[Bug 47449] gparted doesn't recognize the partitions it created

[Roberto Rosselli Del Turco]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gparted

I've just installed DapperRC on an AMD box with two hard disk drives, I
used the LiveCD and gparted to partition the first hard disk and I
installed XP on it, then again I booted the LiveCD and installed Dapper
on the second disk. The problem is that gparted doesn't recognize the
Windows partitions and the swap partition it created on the first disk:
it simply says "Type of disk: not recognized" and all the disk space is
tagged as "unallocated". Note that disks-admin sees them all right, and
in fact I successfully added them to fstab (can access them fine). Same
goes for fdisk:

sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders
Units = cilindri of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Dispositivo Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        2611    20972826    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2            2612        5222    20972857+   7  HPFS/NTFS

/dev/hda5            5223        5744     4192902   82  Linux swap / Solaris

This is on an AMD Sempron 3100 box, the disks are two brand new SATA 160
GB Maxtor drives, CPU is an AMD Sempron 3100, GPU an ATI Sapphire Radeon
9550.
