No problem at all. From what I remember the whole system had been locking up on each try, but I had managed to partition the drive in the end, probably using Windows installer before gparted. On the other hand, the disk has died approximately half a year later and I've not seen anything similar with newer disks / Ubuntus, so it may have been a kind of a hardware problem (moreover, a firmware flaw was reported in the Barracuda 7200.11 series -- Seagate was even offering free data recovery).
