    booted the live DVD ok, and clicked "install" (on either deskto or kmenu)
    all goes fine untill i manually edit partition table
    Code:
    Critical error during ped_disk_new
    when this happens the qtparted error appear twice and i can continue as normal and i allocate existing partitions as:
    • hda6, 10Gb, /
    • hda5, 1Gb, swap
    • hda1, 6Gb, /home/
    and install crashes usually, but this time it asked if i want to use full disk or manually edit partition table (again)

    i would normally have installed on entire disk, but i've got a 20Gb partition containing .ISO images and stuff, i don't want to have to redownload them

    Did you mean to say Kubuntu CD? Because as far as I am aware, Kubuntu doesn't come on a DVD.

    As for your error, it's a strange one.

    You could either try downloading the 'Alternative Install CD' or perhaps post your problem over at Ubuntuforums
