Try responding with "hda" when asked which hard disk you wish to partition.

 If the disk is already partitioned for this install (i.e. at least one 
partition which you don't mind formatting and one other for swap) then you may 
respond with the enter-key when asked with which partitioning tool, fdisk or 
cfdisk. But the enter-key alone is not an accepted response for "which disk".

Exactly what error message(s) did this invoke? The more detail you can provide 
the more likely someone can help.
