First check all the CDs and then try to install again. If problem persists, please report for further suggestion. This FC4 contains several bugs.

Did you remove grub before trying.since FC3 uses selinux.You have to format the partitions and remove grub before installing another distro.

Hey I don't know about your problem but let me tell u my experience. An error similar to yours occured to me too. When partitioning while u'r creating a new partition u hav to uncheck the tick mark next to the drive where u'r windows Installation is. This got rid off such an error. Or if U give auto partition u hav to do the samething.
