That was a mistake I made when i first set it up. To cahnge a partion type you must use fdisk (eg. fdisk /dev/hda). Then toggle the partion (use the t command) to type 8e You mentioned losing data and this being a first time install. You can't ta= ke existing partitions and expect them to work inside an LVM setup. You would create Physical volumes, Volume groups, and Logical volumes using new/empty disk partitions and then copy existing data onto new filesystems in the LVM group.
