Fatal Error Message While attempting to Install :/

Hi,
I just purchased a new laptop and was hoping to wipe out Windows and install Arch. When I attempted to repartition my disk using the custom option - I got the following message:
Fatal Error: Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends in the final partial cylind.
I'm not sure what the second part of the message is trying to tell me.
If it helps this was the output from fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda/ 1 1036 8313856 27 unknown
/dev/sda2 * 1036 1048 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 1048 30402 235780280 7 HPFS/NTFS
Any help would be greatly appreciated - what it means and what I might be able to do to fix it and move on
I have heard a lot of good things about Arch and I'm bound and determined to find a way to get Arch installed.

ppss,
I burned an image from another distribution and then used their installation program to create new partitions for Linux. I'm sure you could use gparted and other programs as well. I would goggle "Linux & partitioning" or Linux & partitioning tools" I'm sure you will find multiple ways to solve the issue. I'm not sure what the message was about but I was able to install a Linux distro (not Arch sadly, but that is due to another unrelated problem, I'm trying to work through) on my laptop without issues - so it wasn't a hardware issue.

Receiving "Fatal Error" message when attempting to burn BluRay

I have completed a BluRay project and am trying to burn to a BluRay. The process goes fine until it starts the burn process. The project is about 19g and I am ttrying to burn to a 25g bluray BD-R. It takes about 6 hours to go through the process. When the progress meter shows 100%, it goes into the burn process and after only a few minutes, I receive a "Fatal Error" message and that's it, no further messages and nothing written to the bluray. I end up clicking on the "cancel" button which takes me back to the project.
Running Elements 7.0 on Windows 7 with plenty of horsepower. Can give specifics if someone thinks that could be the problem. Is there a way to burn the HD project to the computer and then use other software to burn to my Bluray internal burner??

Hi All,
I have a similar error with the config details below.
The work-around that I found was to end all processes that have nothing to do with PrE - especially McAfee and GoogleDeskTop stuff (sorry if I am getting close to the line citing names - but it does seem to be related) and to put PrE in high priority using the Windows Task Manager / Processes facility.
This solution does work even with chapters although I have not yet been able to burn a BD with menus yet - this may be due to the version 4.0 of PrE that I am using.
My issue was all the more frustrating in that my project lasting approx 90mins in realtime was taking approx 25hrs (> 1 day) to render to AVCHD, And after rendering, the Fatal Error msg appeared but PrE was locked and the only way to get out was to end process PrE and restart Windows - no intermediary AVCHD file was saved so I had repeated this process several times over a week before finding this solution after reading this website,
What a shame; I had bought a new powerful laptop with PrE 4.0 and a BD writer pre-installed and yet it seems to hard to get a basic BD !!
In case it can be of interest, I compared burning BDs using AVCHD and MPEG-2 (1920X1020) and, on my 40"LCD I cannot really see any difference in quality. As the MPEG-2 renders and burns in approx 1/10th time of AVCHD, I think that I'll be sticking to this compression.
Here are the details of the system:
Intel Pentium CoreDuo 2.26GHz
Windows Vista
4Gb DDR2
500Gb internal drive with over 50% free
Source HDV footage stored on external 320Gb HDD via USB2.
PrE4.0
I hope that this helps.

Laser Jet 1536dnf fatal error message while installing driver

HP Laserjet 1536dnf
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Got the printer a month ago and originally had no problems installing the full package software using the cd that was provided. The printer part worked great. I had to uninstall the software because the scanner on the 1536dnf was not being recognized by any programs on my laptop.
Now, I'm having problems re-installing the full package software on my windows 8.1 64 bit using the product's cd that came in the box. After the installer recognizes the printer is connected through wired network connection (not using USB cable) it attempts to install the software and gives me an error " Fatal error occurred preventing product use." No error code. It forces me to hit the cancel button and uninstalls all the files.
I have tried the following: uninstalling the 1536dnf software from the laptop, restarted my computer, updated my Adobe flash to the current version (not sure why but one of the forums on here mentioned it). I have also tried to install the online full package with the same error result.
I used the same CD with another laptop that had win 7 and it installed the software without any problems, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the CD.
Can anyone help me?
Regards,
Julian

Hi @foolishdrone3 ,
I understand that you are getting a fatal error installing the printer over the wired network on Windows 8.1.
I would like to help you out with this issue today.
I would use the latest drivers for the installation, that you downloaded from HP.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
A 'Fatal Error' (MSI error) Displays on the Computer During HP Software Installation in Windows.
Find the error code in Windows 8:
Right-click the lower left corner of the screen, and then click Event Viewer. The Event Viewer opens.
In the Event Viewer pane (on the left), click the arrow next to Windows Logs.
Under Windows Logs, click Application. The Event Viewer results display in the middle pane.
In the Source column, find the most recent Error entry from HP, and then click the error entry. The error details display in the General tab.
In the General tab, look for a numbered code. This is the specific error message that you need for troubleshooting. Note the error code, and then continue to the next step.
What was the error code?
If you are still having issues, install the printer as a USB connection, then when connecting the USB cable follow this document immediately. A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation. Then I will provide the steps for flipping the port to the Ethernet connection. Just so we can get the software installed.
Test the printer as a USB connection.
Then go into Devices and Printers, right click the printer and left click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer. You will need to print the Configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address. Printing a Configuration Report.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

It gives me the options to Abort, Retry, or Ignore.
I have attempted to retry and it just comes back. I have tried to ignore this and the install does not complete properly.
I am using firefox to do this download. Could this be causing a problem.
What do I need to do?
