I get the same error.

I am installing on a iMac with first partition the bootcamp booter, then the Mac OS on the second partition. I then have created 2 partitions, one 14gb and one 1gb for saw.

Same thing happens installs along fine then gets right to the end and it gives me the identical error as above.

I can get it to install fine in a parallels virtual enviroment. However it appears to be if I want it to install on a partition it gives this error
