I also was stuck on the "Creating ext3 file system for / in partition #1 on SCSI1 (0.0.0)" error for a long time. The answer is to use the separate partition editor to create new partitions, then do the installation and use those existing partitions. I finally installed Ubuntu 9.04 this way on an old formerly-XP computer.
