The whole disk is seen as free space

Hi,

I'm trying to install 1.8.1 on a disk with a couple of NTFS partitions, there is unallocated space as well. However, after selecting the disk to create the partitions for Q4OS the installer sees the whole disk as available and not only the unallocated space as I expected. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Re: The whole disk is seen as free space

I've never experienced this issue, would it be possible to post a screenshot from gparted? you can do this from a live-cd just press printscreen, then right click on the desktop and select "Paste Clipboard Contents" and then select a filename to save it to.
Also if you could type in a terminal

 sudo blkid

and post the output here.
