Try following these directions, it might help you solve your problem.

For disk partitioning setup choose Manually partition with disk druid
Here you can delete any partitions that were left on the drive if you need to.

On a new drive or a drive with no partitions Click NEW and choose /boot make sure that you select ext3 for the partition and choose the default 100meg size.

Before you make the main partition figure out how much ram you have. If you have 128meg than you want to make a 256 meg swap partition but not yet

Now select NEW and create the root partition labeled "/" for root

Now select NEW and choose swap and make it double you're memory. If you calculated it right you should have no drive space left. This is the right way to partition you're drive for a first time setup and especially if you got a small harddrive.

You must make partitions in this order /boot, /, swap (boot, root, and swap)

Unlike windows which uses the remaining hardrive space as a swap file this lets you fill up the harddrive completely if you wan't with out crashing the computer.
