kubuntu installer can't detect existing partitions

[Guest]

Hello all!

I have problem while trying to install Kubuntu 10.04. I have Windows 7 and MacOSX 10.5 installed and when I choose "Manual disk partition" in the installer, it scans disks and outputs only /dev/sda in the partition list. BTW I have GUID partition table but there were no problems with it before.
fdisk lists all the partitions nicely, here is its output:

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.


Disk /dev/sda: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes

Download the GParted LiveCD and use it to prepare your HD for Kubuntu. Then use the Kubuntu LiveCD to install.
