Had anaconda up and running. Chose a fresh install and then to remove all linux partitions. Recieved a warning that the partitions weren't aligned correctly, and chose to ignore it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 2 test 2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Begin Installation of Fedora Core 2 Test 2 2.Choose a new installation 3.Tell it you want to remove all existing linux partitions 4.Click next Actual Results: Recieved a popup telling of a failure and then saved the dump file onto disk. Expected Results: Should partition correctly. Additional info:

Can you reproduce this? What partitions do you define (and in what order)?
It happens every time I try to install. I haven't gotten to define any partitions. I get to the screen where it asks you what you'd like to do with the hard drive (remove linux partitions, remove all partitions, use existing free space). I select 'remove linux partitions' and click next and thats when the error happens. So far, I've tried to install three times.
Just as an update. I have tried downloading from other mirror sites, burning using different programs (all at slowest write speed possible) and different cdrom media and always get the same error.
What sort of partitioning setup do you have before starting your installation?
