I has this happen recently on a 10.2 install on a 30GB drive. What I ended up doing was running installer from CD, partition drive (6GB & 24GB), quit installer, restart, it works! It seems that the installer was not picking up the new partition. Hope this helps.

Anyway, according to an article I read >on "Low End Mac" it doesn't even always matter if you partition the drive. -- Drew Taylor | Web development & consulting http://www.drewtaylor.com/ | perl/mod_perl/DBI/mysql/postgres ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Netflix: DVD Rentals by mail with NO late fees or due dates!
