kali doesn't read my partitions

[blamn]

hello
i'm trying to install kali to my hard using a usb
when i get to select where to install kali shows my hard as it's unallocated even if i had partitions and i made a 30gb unallocated space to install kali in but i don't see partitions and show like it's empty
i tried the live and install and graphic install same problem
tried hardware detection tool (the last line) it reads my hard and partitions
i also tried BT5R3 same problem
tried also with ubuntu-12.04.2 ls same problem
even if it reads the file system and all of it's files in the live

[blamn]

i've founded that the problem is about that linux doesn't read GPT i'm still trying to find a solutions without turning it to MBR

Edit :
The problem fixed
i launched live kali and used this commands
fdisk -l : to make sure that the partitions is there + to knoew the letters of it mine was "dev/sda"

# fdisk -l

sfdisk -d /dev/sda > parts.txt : to backup the partition table and copy it to your flash memory for example
in case this went wrong use this command to restore the old table : sfdisk -f /dev/sdc < parts.txt
download this : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptf...iles/gptfdisk/
for me i downloaded : fixparts_0.8.6-1_i386.deb
and to installe it : sudo dpkg -i fixparts_0.8.6-1_i386.deb
after it installed use this command : fixparts /dev/sda (replace sda with ur harddrive letter)
then p to print the partition table then s to sort then p again to make sure nothing bad happended then w to write changes then y to accept

# fixparts /dev/sda
FixParts 0.8.4

Loading MBR data from /dev/sdc

MBR command (? for help): p

** unlike in most MBR partitioning tools!

** Extended partitions are not displayed, but will be generated as required.

MBR command (? for help):

then the problem is fixed

I've done exactly what you done and created a backup file with sfdisk under a live run.

Windows isn't booting anymore and I need to recovery the the backup. I know that the file is lost, but how to restore my disk?

Try recover with boot repair cd
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/ . It is easy and I am thinking it can help you. In this case you need internet access.
or if it is not helpful you can use some similarly tool like Hiren's Boot (can repair windows boot) or you can try with any live Linux installation
In all cases you have to make boot USB/CD and boot system from it.
