    Hi:

            thanks bye the help.

            I have I have solved the problem:

    > ...
    > Try partitioning the disks 'by hand'.
    Boot form the Debian Woody install CDROM, make the partitions and format
    the disks;
    cancel the installation and restart form the Fedora CDROM, with this
    method, the install system don't need format de partitions and don't
    crash :)

    > to partition your disks as you like, reboot and then try installing with
    > manual partioning and just select where each partition should be mounted.
