Error formatting of faild some message from mkfs.ext3: Usage: mkfs.ext3 [-c|-t|-l filename block-size] [-f fragment-size] [-b

I got the same problem at first. How I got past it was when it asked me which partition I wanted to use the little box next to it was blank. You have to hit spacebar to select it, then use enter to select next. After that everything was fine.
