Unable to align partition

When installing core 2 test 1 the installer tell me about a problem with
my partion "Unable to align..." If I ignore it, disk druid show my windows
xp disk with some weird cylinder number and partition. Thats fine with me
because I want to install to an other disk anyway. When I do that Fedora
installation go fine but the installer write that broken partition over
the old working one and I endup with my system not booting anymore. I
think the installer shouldnt rewrite partition if you are not modifing
them.

I tought the problem was due to the partition I made from windows XP or
something but every other distro I try install fine with no such problem.
I got 2 computer with basicly the same setup and both get the error with
fedora. Last nigh I gave an other try to it with the development boot.iso
and a ftp install to the development tree and the same problem occur
again.

I did some googleing and search on the list but I couldnt find anyone else
with the same problem and playing with my bios setting didnt help. Any
idea? thx.
