Hi Erick
My guess is that you didn't reboot after writing the partition table.
What you need to do, is edit the partition table (with the tool provided
by the installer - probably fdisk if you have MacOS partitions), reboot,
go through the install process without making any changes to it the second
time (just select done when it shows you the drive). Is this what you did?
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Chris
