dell inspiron 1545 laptop

Hello,
I have a dell inspiron 1545.
it has the following:
2.1ghz intel dual core processer
256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330
Dell Wireless 1515 Wireless-N Mini-Card
creative webcam
4gb of ram

when i try to install Fedora 11 i get an error at the partitioning stage when i try to create a new partition or set an option on a new partition.
btw i tryed the dvd installer and the lastest netiso.

I have saved the log file to my usb stick and can upload it if anyone thinks they may be able to understand it. i have tryed opening an account at redhat bugzilla but havent got an email with info yet.

Fedora 11 works fine as a live cd.

any ideas?

thanks in advance

do you have an empty space on your hard disk? Or do you have another operation system installed?

You can try to install fedora in the text mode or installed from live cd. Try to switch to the shell when you at installation process. To do that you need to press ctrl+ALt+(F3-F4-F5-F6). and you can see a debugging information.
