[Cooker] Problem reading partition tables

[Tom Tomlinson]

The installation of 7.2 beta fails with the message "can't read
partition tables".

The system is a Micron Pentium-233 with 64 megs of RAM and two hard
disks and is dual-boot, with NT4.0 on hda1 and various linux partitions
on hdb.

If in Expert mode, installation stops with 'ok to reboot system' message
after failing to read partition tables.  In Recommended mode, 
installation continues with 'proceed at your own risk' message, with
only hda available.
