I came upon this problem installing Linux Mint 8. This is a great looking Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. Definitely would recommend this to users of Windows who want to try a Linux that acts much like Windows
After starting up with the iso disk into the live cd, when you go through the "install mint" wizard, there will be no partitions that show up at the 4th step and you can't continue. Starting the OEM install at the CD boot has the same results.
The trick to getting the partition table to show up is to run this command from the terminal once in the live cd screen:
sudo apt-get remove dmraid
Then run the wizard and the partitions will show up so you can continue.
