does it do it when you use both the auto partitioner and the manual? or just one or the other. If youve only tried one or the other, I would then try the one you havent tried, personally, with other linux installations, it goes smoother for me if I prefer to use the manual set up. As far as fedora is concerned, Ive only tried it once, and only got to where you are at now-it messed my computer up bad (I was installing it on a dual boot with vista at the time, it messed up all the partitions on the drive forcing me to reformat. Of course, I was using a beta version, but still) anyway, That would be my advice, try both, if you havent already. If you have, I would try running the harddrive diagnostic software for the brand of hard drive you have, its possible you have a bad drive.
Of course, if all else fails, You could boot the system up with a ubuntu live disk and use it to manually format the drive, and then try the fedora installation disc again.
