[CS-FSLUG] overlapping partitions

[John Mark Clayton]

Hello,

This message happened because qtpartd incountered a condition that
should never exist.  Either there is a bug in qtparted that the authors
might want to hear about or there is a problem with your hardrive
partition table.  Did you follow the instructions for subitting a bug?
Make sure you're using the latest stable version and if the message
is reproduced send the text to the bug address stated.

I have used the gparted to create Windows and Linux partitions and
would probably trust the qt version as they both use the same core
code, libparted.  Many years ago I stopped trusting the Norton tools.
Just my opinion.

Good luck,
Mark
