I have been trying to install leo4all for last two weeks. After many solved problems i get stuck (it is still not even the begining). I have a Pavilion DV9720US notebook. Now i have a problem with creating HFS+ partition. My HDD FUJITSU MHY2160BH (SATA) have two NTFS partitions and free unallocated space (10GB). When i try to erase partition in installer i get "input/output error" or "The unidetifying task reported failure on exit". So i've decided to prepare brand new HFS+ partition in my XP (i think that in this situation ill eliminate using disk utility in installer). Hyperblue give me method in http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=5056 ↗. But still installer when i want to erase (format) new partition give me same error. I've tried all known programs to format partition HFS+ from XP but they are telling me that new af partition is not HFS+.
Can somebody tell me why my HDD is so leo proof? What should i do to change partitions?

I'm really tired but i dont want to quit.
