Unhappy Fedora 2 install error. Attempt to read sectors...

Hi,

I booted from CD (FC2 disk1 came with Linux Format), set up my partitions(see below), selected some packages to install and press ok to go ahead.
Then, I got the following error messages.
(1) "Attempt to read sectors 2-3 outside of partition on /dev/hda".
(1) "Attempt to read sectors 0-7 outside of partition on /dev/hda".
And then installation was aborted and the current OS XP still works.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Background info:
===========
DELL PC: 1GB ram, Pentium4, 2.2GHz, single 114GB HD, current os=XP

Partitions viewed from FC2:
==================
hda1 vfat 31MB => partition indicates that this is DELL Utitlity. So I made no change here.
hda2 ntfs 41GB => currently XP resides here.
hda3 Extended => should this be a primary partion? If I do, then will it be visible from XP?
hda5 ntfs 30GB => future versions of XP/NT/other OS will go here.
hda6 swap 2GB => the swap partition for Fedora Core 2 will go here.
hda7 ext3 20GB => Fedora Core 2 will go here.
freespeace 20GB => plan to install any future versions linux here.

note: hda4 was not shown while installing Fedora Core 2.

Thank you in advance.
