Details

I am dual booting Windows 7 and Arch, I have tried both original disc and the 4/27 test snapshot.

When I start going through the install process and get to "prepare disk" section. I see double partitions: http://i.imgur.com/TGxh5.jpg

Sorry for the big photo

I have no idea why this keeps happening when I try to install Arch. I have accomplished installing it before a week ago some how, but I screwed up something and had to reinstall the system again.

I tried deleting all the partitions and repartitioning them using gparted and cfdisk utility with no result. I can easily install and partition the drive no problem I am currently on a livecd of gpartd so I am able to post to the forum/bug tracker. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Category or Severity. Please forgive me.
