Default Fedora Core 4 wont install

I'm trying to install Fedora Core 4 on a Asus A8N-SLI deluxe motherbord with
a ADM Athlon 64 3200+ processor and two Western Digital Vaciar 320 Gb S-ATA
disks and 512 Mb memory.

The first time I tried to install FC4, it began to format the two disks, but
then it complained that the spaces on the different partitions was not
enough to install FC4. So I rebooted and specified that all exisiting
partitions on both disks should be erased. Then I increased the sized to:

/boot 102 Mb
/usr 4196 Mb
/var 2047 Mb
/tmp 512 Mb
/opt 1024 Mb
/home rest of the disk
/home2 whole second disk

Everythings works OK until I get the screen which:

About the install
-----------------
Click next to begin installation of Fedora Core...

I then click next and I get the screen telling me that I need to have the
CDs ready. Then I get the message:

Error
-----
Error informing the kernal about modification to partion /dev/sda1 - Device
or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to
/dev/sda2 until reboot - so you shouldn't mount it or use it any way before
rebooting

[ Ingore ] [Cancel]

The problem is that the system shall be installed on the sda1 device... Then
I get a crash dump due to an unhandeled exception.

So what the h**l is wrong? Don't tell me I need to switch to Windows...
