I get this same error message on 2 different systems. First system is a Dell Optiplex GX400 with regular ATA drive. Second system is a generic white box (Tyan mb with dual P3 800's) using a scsi hard drive. I get this error whether I manually set the partition layout or if I let it get auto-created.
