Please Pay particular attention to the last 2 links above

you could also try the Gparted Live CD, Although You can acess Gparted through the Ubuntu Live CD I belive, still the Gparted Documentation provides a very good starting point, maybe this will help: GParted -- Documentation

Could also be a Hardware issue, just make sure everything is hooked up right

hope this Helps,

Jake
