For info - 

I wouldn't use the graphical installer if you've any extended partitions - it 
has a bug which can delete them (the partition records, not the data, I hope) 
- even if they aren't being modified in the install. 

I've now got to recover two 30GB partitions, and the Gentoo forums show I'm 
not alone...

Regards,

Graham

(Yes maybe I should have backed everything up, but this disk has had RedHat, 
SuSE, and Gentoo install before with no problems at all - and the extended 
partitions weren't even set to be mounted, or altered in any way.... the last 
time I backed up a disk of this size to DVD's it took over a day)
