XP -- Redhat Dual Boot

Hi guys!

Need some help here.....trying to install Redhat 8.0 on a laptop that is already running WinXP. Have made a partition with partition magic but when I try to install Linux it just stops at the check partition/ check hard-drive stage. It has happened on two different laptops of different makes but both running WinXP. It works perfectly on another laptop running WinME. Any ideas??

Thanx in advance!!
