Hmmmmm I may have solved the issue myself. Just went to do the process again and it looks like gparted wasn't doing the job properly, have chucked the gui and doing it manually with fdisk and it seems to be giving different results. Will edit it up if it works. Doh! Deleted my Froyo tar.bz2... redownloading on ISDN.. I'll update in an hour or so <.<

EDIT: Nope it hasn't helped. Started again a dozen times.. I must be missing something.
