From what CW says it might be the fact that you are partitioning. Did you check the install-report package for bugs? I don't don't partition, I only use what there is and format. But I also have a 40GB maxtor and so that ain't it.
So do you have to partition? Is it a new disk? If so partition on an existing linux, or better yet, run Knoppic and do the partitioning with it, just use cfdisk. 

Then run the installer again and don't partition but just format.
