(Get the code!)
I'm also suffering from this bug in Feisty; gparted is trying to delete /dev/sda1, re-create it, and then format it to ext3. /dev/sda is a SATA IDE drive, not removable or hotplugable in any way. mke2fs says "/dev/sda1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!". Funny that, given gparted happily deleted and re-created the partition successfully. :-)
I'll try the System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media workaround above, but an `apt-get update' temporary fix would be good to stop this foxing others.
