Public bug reported: Happens when a disk is given a GPT partition table with gparted and then Clicked on install parted does not recognize a GPT partition table and therefore does not allow for adequate space for boot or partition table files in a unpartitioned area approx. 3072KB of empty (no partition) space at front or end of drive.
