Reinstall from Scratch - Restore client data?

[lschafroth]

I see Lenny isnt any better at partitioning than earlier versions.

I'm testing a Untangle OpenSource firewall based on Sarge. I rebooted with the new boot disc with the new version of Debian Lenny. The install failed at the partitioning part. It says you cant have a partition outside the disk. Not sure what the heck that means.

I had to remove all partitions with a windows boot disc then run the install again and it was fine with a raw drive. Not sure why Debian partitioning software is so BAD!
