HD Install :: HD install failed and now hda5 and hda7 have gone!

looks like you don't have no hda5 or hda7, also you would need a linux partion to install. did you grab that gparted live cd? it's alot easier to work with partions and resizing if you can see it visually like this-> http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2527/gparted3yv.png

also your extended partion is a fat, i'm not sure if you can make a linux partion on a extended fat. you can try to resize that and make a regular partion behind it.
