1. I am using the latest version of GParted Live CD
2. I have tried using the manual video card option but it has produced this same error:
"Fatal server error:
no screens found
Fatal IO error 104"
Any ideas?

At least tell what driver your trying to use. I'm not psychic dude. 
Well I have a XFX 6600 GT and I have tried using both the vesa and Nvidia drivers with the CD with the same results as above.
Do you use any other linux distros?
If so, which one and what drivers work? I would like to see your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Is this card really new?
Try other depths and screen sizes.
Yes I do (Ubuntu Linux). My card (XFX 6600 GT) I've had for about a year now. Here's the xorg.conf file:

So there is no way that card will work without the official nvidia driver? This isn't looking good...
It seems to work pretty good under vesa drivers actually. I can't do any 3d games and such but atleast the windows don't streak like in windows.
So does the vesa driver on the livecd work then?
Actually all I had to do was use the default of 24-bit and 1024 x 768 and it worked. I guess that the previous option I had used (32-bit and 1280 x 1024) messed it up. Anyways, it worked fine downsizing my NTFS partition, I just need to find out a way to assign the unallocated space to my Linux EXT3 partition now.
