Notice that hda7 and hda8 start before the end of hda6. This partition table is broken (some partitioning tools are making such partition tables) and in order to be safe the partitioning program of the installer refuses to work with it. If you remove hda7 and hda8 the problem (I hope) will disappear. > Everything went fine until the partitioning step. The partitioner refused to > detect the > existing partition table.
