Everything worked fine until I came to the partitions hard drives menu. I
had already partitioned my HD (40GB into 10,10,10,10) before I started the
Installer, but in the Partition menu, these partitions didn't appear. Only
the IDE1 was detected. Since I have different running Operatingsystems on
the other Partitions, I can't erase the Table of this HD.

Do you know if parted recognises the partition table of your disk.
(Try the command "parted" if you already have Linux on this computer.)
If parted recognises the partition table, then could you repeat the
installation and send us the file /var/log/partman?

Which menu do you mean? A menu with two choices ("Gesamtes
Laufwerk..." and "Partitionstabelle von Hand eingeben") or a menu
containing your existing partitions and actions like "Partitionierung
beenden", "Hilfe zur Partitionierung", "Logical Volume Manager
konfigurieren", etc.?

If you mean the first of these menus, then intentionaly there is no
possibility to delete/overwrite partitions as this seams dangerous.
But if you mean the second menu, then this must be some unknown
problem as there is a possibility to delete/edit existing partitions
in this menu. If you mean the second menu and you can repeat the
installation, pleas send us /var/log/partman, as this could help us to
find the source of the problem.
Thanks again for your report.
