Auto partition fails (solved)

Hi,

I tried to install Arch with 'Auto-prepare' option and I got following message:

" Device 'boot:32:ext2:+swap:256:swap /:*:ext3' is not valid' "

Then I tried to run 'Partition hard drives' but only option was "OTHER". Cfdisk told me that it "cannot open disk drive". Disk drive it suggested was /dev/discs/disc0/disc.

'Set filesystem mountpoints' did nothing.

Hard drive is currently used by SuSE 9.0 (ReiserFS) and it has been working fine.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
