Hi there, I noticed this bug (gparted does not finish scanning) after upgrading my 12.04 ubuntu studio 32 bit (fresh install) to 12.10. The pc is an old dell Dimension 4600. I'm quite sure gparted worked well under 12.04. Another thing that I noticed after the upgrade to 12.10 is that on the desktop there was an incon to a floppy drive a: although there was no floppy drive available in the pc. The floppy icon was not there in 12.04. After reading through this bug's comments I looked into the bios and changed the setting of the floppy drive to "not installed". After the proper Bios setting (not installed, because there is no floppy) gparted worked without a flaw on 12.10. Ubuntu studio uses the XFCE desktop environment. Hope this helps.
