This is the terminal command - should it be run again with 'Ignore' ?

Hello!
You should pretty much see what you see in GPartEd. Are you sure you're working with a good Live CD, as in verifying the MD5 checksum to insure that it downloaded correctly?

tripple aught,
Did you try FixParts again or not? Definitely looks like what is seen with stray GPT data on disk. If FixParts still doesn't report that as the problem, then I'm stumped.
Do confirm the md5sum of the ISO file you used to create the live LL disk as N4RPS suggested. Who knows, maybe there's something wrong with it. If ISO checks out good, then as last resort make another live DVD/USB and see if same thing happens.

gold_finger,
I'm having an issue with 'Fixparts'
> boot live LL 64 bit disc
> download the md64.deb
> installed the package
> did the backup into parts.txt and copied it elsewhere
> used sudo fixparts /dev/sda
response from terminal: sudo: fixparts: command not found
How can I fix this ?
