Its a question of thinking and assuming too much. There is no need at all to create partitions for the gOS installer, as it will do all that for you automatically, creating partitions will only cause problems, as you have seen.
But I STRONGLY advise you, if you are creating a dual Windows/gOS system to defragment and error check the Windows partitions BEFORE installing gOS, as the installer can get into problems when it encounters problems in the NTFC filing system, and letting windows do the de-fragmenting (necessary to create continuous free space to use for splitting off a new partition) is also very advisable. If you are creating a dedicated gOS computer (no windows) on an old hard-disk that used to contain Windows, I advise to use the partition editor (gparted) on the live_CD to remove ALL the partitions on the hard-disk before running the installer.
