I found a similar bug, if it is not applicable please unlink it.

I would try completely wiping the hard drive with Gparted.
Rebooting.
Setting up partition (With Gparted).
Rebooting.
Checking to make sure it's set up the way you want it.
Installing.

If all else fails try the alternate-installer...

Can you help with this problem?
