Just feedback of similar trouble and what solved it.

I've setup two identical machines (same hardware like MB, HD, ram, etc) and had the same issues on one machine that the installation fail during the fdisk stage while the other machine installed without trouble. I've swopped harddisks and run the install on the other machine without a problem, but when swopping back the HD's the one machine gave boot errors. At the end of the day the source of the problem was the IDE cable, multiple generic IDE cables later non the wiser until I replaced it with a branded IDE cable and all trouble stopped there and then.
