Anaconda issue when Finding Storage Devices

I've been trying to install Fedora Core 11 on my computer recently, but whenever i start to install it to hard drive i have an issue. The Installer loads and i can get up to the Keyboard selection window, but whenever i click next after that and it tries to "find storage devices" an issue occurs which gives me an error message. I would post it here but apparently the error makes my thread too long so if you think you can help, but need the message i'll post it later in sections. The other curious thing is that i was able to install Fedora once before, but when i changed the partitions around to give Fedora more space on my computer this error came up. Any Help?

Are there existing partitions on your drive, e.g. from a previous installation? Maybe your partition table is damaged and Anaconda cannot read it. You could try to either erase existing partitions or pre-create your desired partitioning scheme, both using, for instance, the GParted live CD.
