    I had something similar with an Ubuntu install (9.04 I think). It was due to my hard drive being automatically mounted. In this case the installer wont allow you to use it. This is a good thing

    If you see the drive in Nautilus, right click on it and select Unmount. Then run the installer.

    Hmmm.... It means problem was in Hard disk only. I would suggest you to check it using tools provided by your Hard disk's manufacturer.
